As we close out the year, this episode brings a full recap of 2025 and a clear-eyed look at how to position yourself for 2026.

In this special year-end episode of More Knowledge, More Wealth, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, reflects on the biggest themes, questions, and lessons investors faced in 2025—covering taxes, investing, AI, private markets, real estate, and long-term portfolio discipline.

What you’ll learn:

• Practical ways to save and invest more without feeling overwhelmed

• Smarter approaches to education costs, student loans, and employer tuition benefits

• Why market volatility creates opportunity—not panic • How to think clearly about AI, private investments, and speculative trends

• What to know before chasing private stock deals and SPVs • Why profitability and discipline matter more than hype • How to evaluate real estate as an investment—not an emotional decision

• Why no one can predict the market—and what actually works instead

Wealth isn’t built by guessing what happens next year. It’s built by discipline, consistency, and understanding where your money is working. Use this recap to reflect on 2025, reset your priorities, and move into 2026 with clarity and confidence.
