Sometimes my actions are borderline crazy.

So when I listened to a podcast almost 2 years ago the guest really resonated with me, so I figured why not reach out?

Turns out he was in my eco system so he was easy to look up in our global email address.

At first I thought I had nothing to offer this fellow.

He was a more successful advisor by measure of revenue, sober longer than me, and he is a better golfer.

Guys like him don't waste their time on guys like me.

At least that is what my little pea brain told me.

But I sent the email anyway.

(I figured the worst was he would ignore me or tell me to pound sand).

We became fast friends.

Now I am out vacating in the PNW where he lives and he invited me to stay and play golf after my cruise returned to port.

So here we are playing some of the nicest courses in the state.

The point is, take a chance.

✅Send the email
✅Make the call
✅Pen the speech
✅Write the book
✅Travel
✅Chase that dream with unabashed enthusiasm

You never know where it could lead you.

I had a bad entitlement attitude when I was younger... but before we get there....

What are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want?

We often get caught up in the game of comparison especially on social media.

Our friends have nicer cars, bigger houses, and better vacation photos.

But at what cost is this comparison game really coming to us?

We live in a microwave society where everything has to come now.

In no way, shape, or form will a lot of people take a step back in lifestyle once they have tasted the good life.

I worry about this as a parent.

Am I giving my kids too much, especially when it comes to experiences or will these things drive them to make them want to deliver the same things to their kids?

It is fairly reasonable to think there is no way they can afford the same luxuries they get now as children under our roof once they graduate college.

I suppose I could keep paying for their same life, but I don't see that happening.....at some point baby bird has to fly.

Many of my clients still pay for their kids cell phones, car insurance, car payments, student loans, etc even though the kids are now working adults well into their 20's.

(Notice I said working adults and not fully functioning?)

Sometimes those monthly payments are coming at the detriment of the parents' finances.

But when I was broke, I still thought I had to live in a nice place and drive a new car.

WRONG, MATTY!!

Once I got my head out of my caboose I realized getting to where I wanted to be was going to take deep sacrifice considering I was making 25k/yr and had 125K of consumer debt.

I wasn't entitled to any sort of nicety.

The world owed me nothing and I felt it.

So I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.

➡️No going out to eat
➡️I still drive reasonable cars
➡️I didn't buy a house until 2 weeks before my 40th birthday
➡️No vacations for 10 years

Did it suck?

You bet.

But you know what doesn't suck now?

✅Nice restaurants with my wife
✅Epic vacations with the kids
✅Planning on buying my dream car within a year or two
✅Living in our forever home
✅Luxury seats at sporing events

This is not a brag as more as it was a commitment.

Read that again.

Getting here took intentionality and a lot of saying "no".

People come into my office all the time with dreams.

But once the conversation turns to what they are willing to give up to get there, then silence.

That's fine if you don't want to do the work.

Doesn't bother me.

But don't expect great outcomes with ordinary effort.

I unlocked the secret, and on paper its a rather simple path.

In fact, I will even lay the path out for you in any of my client meetings.

But for our pride and ego ex*****on of that plan can be rather difficult.

How deep are you willing to cut?

That's the question you should start with.

The irony of a capitalistic system is that a lot of companies are built to make our lives easier.

But it is extremely difficult and uncomfortable for the owners of said companies to achieve success.

In order to maintain this wonderful life we have here in America, we need entrepreneurs to take risks, be willing to grow, challenge the status quo, and sometimes hang on for dear life because they are the only one who believes in the mission.

It is only then we as a consumer get to enjoy what those folks have created.

Let's not lose sight of this.

Over 100K NET was raised for local law enforcement in Cincinnati through the Hamilton County Police Association Charity.

513 Auto Gallery with Jamarr Chase and Tee Higgins put on another incredible exotic car show with estimates of over 200 million dollars worth of vehicles on display.

Thanks to all the sponsors, collectors, players, attendees, and volunteers for making this happen.... ~500 people came together for this cause.

Can we outdo ourselves in 2027?

Time will tell, but we are sure gonna try!

***100k net was the estimate at the time of this writing. now we think it will be closer to 200k**

We are building our own office building and we want to take you on the journey with us.

This is the beginning.

Are you a dreamer?

I am through and through. It drives my wife nuts, LOL.

I've always casted grand visions of what I want in the future.

In fact, I write/print everything out so I have to look at it.

I have pictures, sayings, and schematics strewn all through my house and office.

Hiding in plain sight to you, but daily reminders to me.

The hardest part?

Striking the right balance of financial prudence vs recklessness.

I just wrote earlier this week about how I like to avoid financial stress.

Well, monthly payments add stress and paying cash seems like it can take forever.

Plus sacrificing today means I am banking on being able to do what I want in the future, assuming I make it to the future.... and there's a risk in waiting.

My shoot first and ask later mentality with money got me in trouble when I was young, and leaves me gun shy today.

Now what?

I am feeling this huge call towards living out my dreams, but on the flip side the timing feels off.

But the timing will never be good.

Sober Matt knows this. Had I waited for the right timing, I'd still be drinking....

Sometimes you just have to start and figure it out.

But broke Matt also learned this lesson on rushing into things.

**Checks student loan balance from 2011**

If history has any say in my future is that things will work out in my favor. They always have.

I just have to allow for enough patience in the interim, and that my friends, is the struggle.

✅Not having to work OT/details
✅Forgoing DROP
✅Retiring at 52 and never working again
✅Giving no second thought to that $250 dinner with your spouse
✅Luxury vacations once a year

What's your financial freedom?

We use that (along with a lot of other firms) as our tag line in our marketing, but have you ever thought what it really means to you?

Like really sat down and gave it some effort other than I want a gajillion dollars?

Or does it look more like the list at the top?

Mathematically most of us aren't destined to have 50 million+ dollars and that's ok.

But that doesn't mean we live life without intentionality and purpose with our money.

We can still have it all, we just have to be hyper purposeful on how we get there.

So what is it to you?

My freedom was never to have to stress about money again.

Although after yesterday's post you might think different.....

But for me its that simple and it is designed.

We has a family can live happily on X dollars, but we happen to make Y dollars (Y being more than X), and that keeps our stress down.

How about you?

Have you defined your freedom and what does that look like?

"We've never made so much money, and I've haven't felt this broke in a while".

I said this to my wife over the weekend.

We are in a very expensive part of life right now.

Our kids are getting older, my career is skyrocketing, and everything just seems to cost double from last year.

➡️Senior in high school looking at colleges
➡️4th driver getting her temps and a car
➡️Bought a book of business (likely another one coming in 2027)
➡️Major home remodel and a lot of expensive stuff breaking because our house is about 25 years old
➡️Embarking on a commercial build
➡️Taxes still suck

TLDR: Lots of outflow

Just because I do money for a living doesn't mean that I am immune to the feelings it can produce.

But I am able to quickly realize when my emotions are clouding me.

This is one of those times.

What I just described is overwhelming.

So what should I do beside stop whining?

Simply, stick to the plan.

✅Retirement accounts are still funded at their same levels
✅We have maintained a healthy emergency fund
✅Insurance coverages have been adequate
✅Keep the faith that this is only a season and not forever.

This is where it helps to have objective people in your life.

The same reason folks like you hire guys like me.

It helps to talk through the feelings more so to prevent any irrational moves, and to know that this hard season is only a temporary stop.

In all probability I will look up in 5 years and be very grateful of the work that was done during this period and our financial picture will have changed dramatically in my favor.

We all know that time will come in short order, but it will feel like a slog to get there.

What do you do when times get tough in your house?

Its Friday, so lets enjoy a laugh at my expense.

My so-called friend made this for me after he learned I was being mean at home to my kids and their friends.

AI is so awesome!
