In 2008, we went through the credit crisis in the U.S. Markets failed all around the world. People lost their homes, their life savings, businesses failed at record levels, and much more. I remember that year well. It was also the year I got divorced. My income fell by 40%. Business was difficult to say the least. As a leader that had numerous people relying on me, I had some very difficult decisions to make. Should I keep the lifestyle I had become accustomed to, the nice car, dinners out, travel, etc.? Or should I keep my business running against all odds, ensuring a livelihood […]

Jerry Seinfeld said recently at a college commencement speech something that really resonated with me. “Focus on becoming, not having,” the iconic comedian said, addressing the crowd of young, eager graduates. “Having will come as a function of focusing on what you become.” That’s pretty incredible advice. So, as we start 2025, I encourage you to focus on working towards on becoming who and what you want – the best version of you. It’s so interesting to me; we all start the year the same way. Gyms are packed. Dry January. Save more and do better with money. All these […]

As we look at 2024 in the rearview mirror, I thought I would share a story of some time I spent with a client last week. “You’re not like other financial advisors,” she told me. I perked up, wondering where this was going next. “Most advisors that give us referrals are like…ugggh,” she said. “But the people you refer to us are so nice and appreciative.” “Thank you,” I replied. “I like to think of myself as more than just a financial advisor.” She then said, “Yes, you are more like a therapist meets financial guy meets a Rabbi!” I laughed, […]

Family can be tough. And making decisions around family can be really tough. I was meeting with a client this week, working with them on some of the patriarch’s estate planning. This individual is very committed and does everything for their family. However, while one of the siblings is not a bad person at all, they do struggle to always make the right decisions around the use of money. So, we began having discussions about why the current trust and estate plan was not be in anyone’s best interest, and better options. “If Karl runs out of money, then what?” […]

Stock Market Stocks stumbled in December, limping to the finish line of 2024 with three straight days of significant losses, including the Dow’s worst monthly performance in more than two years. Despite December’s sluggishness, the major indexes posted sizable gains for the year. In fact, U.S. stocks concluded another extraordinary year on Wall Street on December 31st, driven by 2024’s surging demand for artificial intelligence, a surprisingly robust U.S. economy, and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate reductions. These factors propelled the major stock indexes to numerous record highs throughout the year. The S&P 500 delivered another year of double-digit growth, climbing […]

What is real wealth? I think everyone has their own definition of what that term means. For some, it is how much money they have, or success and even health. In fact, in many polls of high-net-worth individuals, they rank health, relationships, and freedom to follow their passions as the highest value to wealth. In my experience – and certainly for me – it is all of the above. And that also includes the success of those around me: my family, friends, clients, and team. Everyone. Identify what that term means and go all in. Get crystal clear on what you […]

The passage of time gets more real every year. So, this year, I decided to take good care of my health. That led me to seek out every medical exam under the sun, from a standard physical exam to extensive blood work, and even the dreaded colonoscopy – the works! For anyone that knows me, this is a big deal as I am NOT one to get sick or go to doctors. But, at 47, I want to make sure I will be here for another 47. As I reflect on that, on the age of my children, the age […]
