Friends, it's probably no secret that I'm a fan of investing, seeing as I am a full time advisor. So I wanted to share with you this little passive tool I like to use on the side for small incremental investing. My main investments are very intentional and not very stock market oriented, but I do like to have a little bit of stock market exposure. And this is one way I do that.

NOTE: if you want to do some real powerful investing, let's have a talk. But, this thing I'm about to share is a way to invest tiny amounts that would ordinarily make the journey from your jeans pocket into a jar on your night stand...

Remember decades ago when that bank had that "Keep the Change" program where they rounded your debit card transactions to the nearest dollar and put the difference into a savings account for you? It was brilliant. I used it, til I came to really dislike the impersonal corporate approach of that bank.

Acorns is like that. It rounds up your transactions then puts your round-ups into investments. Who can't afford to invest 37 cents when they're spending $8.63 on fast food? You can also designate a certain amount to also transfer weekly, monthly, etc. to bolster your investment pace.

After a certain level of balance or on certain plans, you can even control the allocations of your investments into more specific market strategies. I just use the free plan and let it roll.

POV: You just sold an investment for huge capital gains and your advisor and your CPA collaborated to set you up with an income portfolio that cleverly takes advantage of capital gains tax deferral, ordinary income tax offset and has ongoing tax efficient income.

You doze off for a nap as you realize you're in good hands.

This is what contentment looks like.

If you don’t like long posts, just swipe the photos… they’re alright.

These may look like helicopter work pictures but to me they are really a snapshot of a moment in time at a confluence of peace, fulfillment, health and contentment. And strangely I’ve been working a LOT, at two entirely different careers I really enjoy. Yet my family and I have been doing a lot cool stuff and I can honestly say that I’m “happy”.

This summer comes on the heels of a couple years of heavy investment in health, of hardship, of challenge, of victory, undergoing coaching (via my immensely talented friend, life partner, high school sweetheart and wife of almost 18 years ), counseling, healing and deepening in my walk with Jesus. And I’m loving it.

I have never flown (or advised, or realtored, or parented or husbanded) better than in this season of wholeness. Which is ironic because these last two seasons have been comparably light in flying and all other things. But finding myself in the zone has only happened when I have found myself in peace and knowing who I am, without the burdens of shame and pain. And these past couple seasons have been both the highest challenge with the highest demand for skill and at the same time the most output I’ve ever given. I’m super pumped about it.

I have a challenge and an invitation for you: dig deep, find out who you are, near yourself to people who are wise and love you, seek help, own your mistakes, persevere, chase dreams, adjust and trim your life of things that need not be there and fortify it with people and things there were always meant to be there. You were created and you are being called to a life of purpose. Exhume it from everything that is burying it.

You can have this too. You were born for it. Get free, get whole, get healthy. You’ll find your smile again.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12

If I can help somehow, hit me up. Or if you need a good life coach to walk alongside of you and help you get out of a state of burnout, I know a really good one.

I know the name "Individual Retirement Account" isn't sexy. It doesn't come naturally to put aside earnings for 30, 40 years without touching it, we want it now! But what if you instead call it your "Put Money Aside to Invest to Protect Against Inflation and Grow it Massively So I Don't Have to Pay Higher Taxes in the Future When I'm Old, But in a Pinch I Can Pull My Money Out Account"? Nope. Still not sexy. But it's true!

This is a good reminder to re-center on what people need to hear! As a "people person", I totally dig this message, but it highlights that sometimes it can be easy to get swept up into thinking business-first.

In that spirit...
What questions would you like answered about investing and your portfolio?

Tonight my wife, some friends and I had the pleasure of hearing the musings of the great .b.peterson in person at the Idaho Center, maybe a mile from my house. It was quite the experience!

For real, a Solo 401k is legit:
- easy to upkeep, nominal cost
- invest in what you want (think alts)
- huge annual limit, up to $73,500
- be your own bank: borrow funds from your retirement for investments and purchases, pay it back within 5 years, interest is low and paid to YOU

If you are self employed OR have a former employer retirement plan that's on the back burner, let's talk options like Solo 401k, SEP IRA, Traditional and Roth IRA.
