an important note about math and the markets

let's say you start the year with a $750,000 IRA balance

the market was down 25% and you end the year with $562,500

a 25% return on your $562,500 only gets you to $703,125

in order for you to be back to where you started, you'd need a return of about 33.3%

I’m definitely not a great golfer.

But what I love about the game is how much it mirrors life. You’ll have bad shots, lost balls, and missed putts, yet those perfect shots can make up for it all.

In life, just like in golf, the highs outweigh the lows, and those moments of success make us appreciate the journey.

Last Thursday was the first-ever Generosity Dinner, and I couldn't be more thankful for everyone who came out! # It was a heartfelt evening filled with real conversations, shared stories, and a collective passion for giving back. I'm looking forward to making this an annual tradition and growing this incredible community.

Five things I wish I knew at 20:

- Invest a portion of savings for growth, not just save.

- Understand how taxes work and open a Roth IRA early.

- Learn the pros and cons of life insurance before buying.

- Financial planning is more than just investing for retirement - start early.

- Don't be afraid to enjoy some of the money you make.
