    How to Create Your Comprehensive Financial Independence Timeline

    Financial independence calculators allow us to understand the path we’re on—so we can either feel good about proceeding, or get on a different one. So, using the new features we added to the 2025 Wealth Planner, we’ll explore all the considerations that might impact your own projections—from temporary expenses you won’t need to support forever (like childcare) to future pension income that’ll lower your investment needs. 💰 JOIN THE 2025 WEALTH PLANNER WAITLIST FOR 25% OFF AT LAUNCH.

    The Critical Insurance Many High Earners Don’t Realize They’re Missing
    Nov 13 2024
    At her career’s height, Lacy was earning more than a million dollars per year (!) as an executive at a major bank. Then, one early morning, Lacy woke up and realized she was unable to hear anything in her left ear, experiencing something called sudden sensorineural hearing loss. She feared the worst: Her career, as she knew it, was over. Fortunately, Lacy had purchased a valuable insurance policy a decade earlier. And you don’t have to be pulling down seven figures like Lacy to benefit in the same way.

  • When Earning More Makes Your Financial Anxiety…Worse?

    When Earning More Makes Your Financial Anxiety…Worse?
    Nov 6 2024
    In our "money dysmorphia" episode, a theme emerged that I wanted to revisit: Money anxiety increasing with income, not decreasing. While most of us are probably familiar with the law of diminishing marginal returns and accept that after a certain point, money won’t make us any happier, the idea that money could make us actively unhappier is pretty antithetical to the entire capitalist enterprise. So to get the inside track, we invited Clay Cockrell, a therapist for the ultra high-net worth, to talk through some theories about why someone might experience enhanced anxiety as they ascend the income ladder—and what it might mean you need to do next.

    Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know about Capitalism (But Were Too Afraid to Ask)
    Oct 23 2024
    If you’ve ever found yourself feeling skeptical about capitalism (or the idea that its current iteration is the best and only economic system worthy of our attention), this episode is for you. My guest, Grace Blakeley, recently published a book called Vulture Capitalism in which she tees up what we fundamentally misunderstand about capitalism and knocks down the many half-truths that enable the status quo's most powerful narratives.
