Let's Improve Your Cash Flow Confidence



Hey Reader,

Last week, I did a career day presentation for third graders.

As I crafted my presentation, I kept reminding myself it needed to be as simple as possible.

So, I decided I wanted to emphasize the importance of saving and the power of compounding.

To illustrate compounding, I showed the value of a penny after doubling it every day for 30 days.

It's easy to get oohs and ahhs when you start with a penny and end with over $5,000,000, but there's a crucial aspect of investing that adults overlook just as often as third graders...

  1. You need a foundation of assets before compounding takes over.
  2. To build a foundation, you need a savings plan.
  3. To save, you need to master your cash flow.

In this post, I explained the easiest and most accurate way I've found to help clients figure out the numbers to use in their long-term cash flow plan.

Finally, the newsletter won't be going out the next two weeks since Christmas and New Years Day fall on Wednesday, but I want to say thank you for being a subscriber and following along, no matter how long you've been here.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hey Reader, A few years ago, I started working with a client with ~$16mm in company stock. Don't get me wrong, that's a lot of money. But six months before that, it was worth over $50mm.

Here's how it all went down... Background He was a high-level executive with over 200,000 company shares and stock options. The two main...
