06/08/2026

The Financial Advisor hears "the borrower has more control with a reverse mortgage."

What is the worst thing you’ve heard about a reverse mortgage?

There’s a strange moment in life when you realize the chaos won’t last forever.

Right now, our house is loud.

Practices. Games. Last-minute schedule changes. Laundry everywhere. Dinner on the fly.

Three kids moving in three different directions at all times.

And honestly? I love it.

But this fall, we’ll send our oldest daughter off to college.

And suddenly, I’m becoming very aware that these seasons change faster than we think.

Working with retirees and empty nesters every day has given me an unusual perspective on what comes next.

Over time, I’ve started noticing the same lessons repeated over and over again.

This week’s article is personal. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Studies suggest that learning something new has long-term cognitive value.

This is at the forefront of my mind - to give my audience the opportunity to learn something new - each time I lead a seminar, write an article, have a conversation, or share a video.

In a recent seminar, I partnered with an estate planning attorney. And lo and behold, the attorney shared something that caught my attention as the father of a Senior in High School.

The hardest transitions in life don’t come with warnings.

They come with silence.

After the graduation party.
After the last game.
After the house gets quiet.

That’s often when people realize the plan they’ve been following doesn’t quite fit anymore.

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
— Mike Tyson

Most people think that punch only comes in retirement, but the truth is that it shows up in stages, and each one changes the rules.

From a new baby, to High School graduation, to an empty nest, and finally to retirement, I put together a short article on how each of those stages affect your time, your finances, and your direction.

It’s not about having the perfect plan.

It’s about having one that can adjust when life does.

It’s one of those quotes that hits because it’s simple and poignant:“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” — Mike TysonTyson wasn’t talking about financial planning, parenting, or retirement. He was talking about boxing. But the principle translates cleanly: plans fee...

Most retirement plans look great ... right up until life happens.

Markets drop.
Income is needed.
Decisions get emotional.

Suddenly, a 'solid' plan starts forcing bad choices.

That's not a market problem.
That's a flexibility problem.

I wrote a piece connecting three ideas most people treat separately:

✅ How we actually experience retirement.
✅ Why behavior quietly derails good plans.
✅ And where home equity fits when used strategically.

If you’ve ever wondered how (or if) home equity should play a role in your plan, this is worth a read. Reach out if you want to talk it through.

There’s a subdued shift happening in how we should think about retirement.For years, the narrative was simple: work hard, save enough, and eventually you’re done.Done working.Done worrying.Done needing to figure things out.But that idea doesn’t hold up in real life.Because retirement isn’t s...

A Tuesday afternoon can feel endless. Yet, somehow, 10 years can disappear in the blink of an eye.

My oldest daughter graduates from high school in a few weeks, and I keep catching myself thinking:

'Wasn't she just two?'

That contrast - slow days, fast years - isn't just interesting.
It's something many don't plan for in retirement.

We spend a lot of time preparing financially, but far less time thinking about how life will actually feel when structure disappears.

I wrote this article to explore that gap, and how to avoid drifting through the years that go faster than expected.

If retirement is getting closer, or already here, this is worth a few minutes of your time.

There’s a strange tension in how we experience time.A Tuesday afternoon can feel endless.A long winter week can crawl.But zoom out, and entire years vanish.You blink - and a decade is gone.This is front-and-center for me right now.
