    2024/08/30
    I frequently talk about what you should do to prepare for retirement and how to handle the years leading to retirement. But I rarely talk about what to do during retirement because I haven't experienced it. [bctt tweet="Retirement will be different than you expect. How?

In the article, Fritz talks about the surprising things he’s learned six years into retirement. I’ll cover the fascinating lessons in this episode of Best in Wealth. Outline of This Episode

    • [18:58] Lesson #6: Retirement can be the best years of your life

    Lesson #1: Retirement is complex When you retire, you have far fewer external influences than during your working years. Money issues are top-of-mind during the early phase of retirement. It’s scary moving from collecting a paycheck for 30+ years to starting to live off of your nest egg. But Fritz believes that true value comes by figuring out all of the non-financial issues in retirement. [bctt tweet="Your mindset matters a lot in retirement.

  • The 3 Big Rules of Investing, Ep #249
    2024/08/02
    I believe there are three rules that every family steward should follow when it comes to investing. In theory, these rules are “easy” to follow—but living by them is not. Secondly, these rules won’t surprise you. That doesn’t make them any less important. So in this episode of Best in Wealth, I’ll share what each rule is and you’ll discover why you have to follow them. [bctt tweet="📣 What are my 3 BIGGEST rules for investing? Find out in episode #249 of Best in Wealth! #investing #PersonalFinance #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement" username=""] Outline of This Episode
    • [1:06] The 3 rules for dating my daughters
    • [5:31] Rule #1: Do NOT try to time the market
    • [11:12] Rule #2: Do NOT focus on the headlines
    • [13:53] Rule #3: Do NOT chase past performance

    Rule #1: Do NOT try to time the market Whether it’s a bad day in the stock market or upcoming elections, it can be easy to let your emotions get to you and think, “Maybe I should get out of the market right now.” It’s easy to sell everything and get your money out. However, it’s far harder to decide when to put the money back in. No one ever thinks about the second half of the equation. Do you have an investing philosophy? What’s your system? When will you get your money back in the market? The S&P 500 has been rolling. It was up 15% last quarter. Small Value was negative for the year. Wouldn’t it be tempting to take the money from your small value and move it into the S&P 500? But Small Value has done far better this quarter. You would’ve lost out on that money. John Bogle—The Founder of Vanguard—spent over 70 years on Wall Street. He’s famously known for saying, “I’ve never found anyone who can successfully time the market.” There’s a reason for that. [bctt tweet="🚨 Do NOT try to time the market. Why? Check out episode #249 of Best in Wealth for the answer. #investing #PersonalFinance #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement" username=""] Rule #2: Do NOT focus on the headlines It’s too easy to become enamored with popular stocks that get media attention. For example, the Magnificent Seven has risen in popularity (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.) for the last 10 years. They’ve done amazingly well in 2023 and 2024. However, once companies hit the “top 10,” their returns tend to decline. Just because you read a headline about a company doesn't mean it will perform better. What you’ve read about is already priced into the market. You must separate what you’re seeing on the news from your investment. Rule #3: Do NOT chase past performance You might be inclined to choose investments based on past returns. You expect top-ranked funds to continue to deliver their best performance. We see this time and time again with new investors. They don’t know where to start. The only information they have in front of them is past performance. So they choose what’s had the best performance recently. But research shows that most funds that are ranked in the top 25% don’t remain in the top 25% over the next five years. Only about 1-in-5 mutual funds stayed in the top-performing group. The lesson? A fund’s past performance offers limited insight into its future returns. As family stewards, how do we shift our focus? What do we want to do instead? Listen to hear my thoughts. [bctt tweet="📣 One of my biggest rules for investing: Do NOT chase past performance.

  • Buying a New Car: What to Learn from My Experience, Ep #248
    2024/07/19
    When we decided my wife was going to get a new vehicle, I knew we needed to test drive the vehicle she wanted: A Jeep. She’d never driven a Jeep before. She’d never experienced what it was like driving something with the doors off. So I knew she needed to get behind the wheel to see how it felt. Let me tell you, our Jeep-buying experience was a wild ride! In this episode of Best in Wealth, I’ll share our experience, and how I ultimately purchased my wife her dream Jeep at the best price possible. Don’t miss it! [bctt tweet="My wife and I just bought a brand new Jeep. I detail how I negotiated the best price in episode #248 of Best in Wealth! #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #Jeep" username=""] Outline of This Episode

    • [9:17] The moment everything went wrong
    • [12:23] Asking for the best price
    • [17:17] Purchasing my wife’s Jeep

    Walking into the dealership When we walked into the dealership, we test-drove a Jeep with the salesman. He immediately pushed us to sit down, crunch some numbers, and make a deal happen. But I knew we wouldn’t be making an emotional purchase that day, and I immediately let him know we weren’t going to move quickly. My wife told him that if negotiation was necessary, all communication had to go through me. The next day, this salesman started bombarding my wife with text messages, emails, and phone calls. Not surprising. She responded and said she wanted to test-drive a hybrid with the doors and top off. We set up a day and time. We walked to the Jeep and he showed us how he’d taken the doors off. But he hadn’t taken the top off because it was a “Two-person job.” We took it for a spin with the doors off and it was really cool. It was a great ride. My wife decided she wanted a Jeep. But he’d yet again had her test drive a Jeep that wasn’t a hybrid. But my wife had a list of non-negotiable specifications that she wanted from the Jeep, including it being a hybrid. We knew that Jeep wasn’t on their lot. This salesman had done enough for us that I knew I’d buy the Jeep through him if he could match the best price that I could find. That’s when everything went wrong. [bctt tweet="We just bought my wife a brand new Jeep. Why’d we buy new? How’d we get the best price possible? I share my #negotiation secrets in this episode of Best in Wealth! #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #Jeep" username=""] The ridiculous ask He brought us inside to talk to his sales manager. The sales manager told us that finding my wife’s perfect Jeep was like finding a needle in a haystack. So he asked us to commit that we’d buy the Jeep from them before he located it! He would only negotiate at that point. You should never commit to anything before you negotiate and land on a price. It was completely backward, so we walked out the door. Buying my wife’s Jeep I immediately went home, sat down at the computer, and found the five different Jeeps fitting my wife’s specifications within five minutes. I emailed all five dealerships asking them to email me their best price on the Jeep. Every dealership called me right away. One said, “We don’t negotiate over the phone, you have to come in.” I crossed them off my list. The other four dealerships gave me their price within 12 hours. But I didn’t know if what I was quoted was the best deal. So I took the three best prices and sent them all a text saying, “Congratulations. You made it to the top three with your initial offers. If you’d like to sweeten the deal, I’m giving you one final chance. I’m buying a Jeep in the next 48 hours and buying it from the person who has the best price.” One said, “That was my best price,” but the other two sweetened the deal. They took more money off. One of them gave a lower...
