  • Market Down 15%? Why Long-Term Investors Get Excited

    Is your investing strategy more like going to the gym or visiting the casino?


    In the latest episode of the Abundance Mindset, we make a case for disciplined, consistent investing and share data about how disciplined approaches beat emotion-driven market timing. We explain dollar-cost averaging as a de-risking approach that accepts uncertainty and can be useful for both ongoing contributions and deploying lump sums over time.


    If you want to take the emotion out of investing and instead build a routine that helps you quietly win over time, this episode is for you.

  • Should I sell my Employer Stock? Traps to Avoid and Tricks to Maximize

    We're talking ALL about stock concentration risk! Specifically, we're focusing on how equity compensation can tie a person’s paycheck, bonus, and net worth to the same employer. The goal isn’t necessarily to eliminate risk or discourage investing in your employer. Rather, we propose using guardrails instead of gut feelings to objectively manage concentration.

  • Federal Tax Rates Extended - What This Means for Tax Planning

    Tax Cuts Made Permanent: What the 2025 Bill Means for Roth Conversion Strategies & Ongoing Tax Planning


    Last summer, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” made the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act federal tax brackets permanent, extending the current rates and removing the expected 2026 increase. Today we discuss how this extension gives planners more runway (not a reason to stop), how it changes the pacing of strategies like Roth conversions, and why tax planning should be updated annually as income, markets, and legislation shift.
