The FitBUX podcast hosted by Joseph Reinke is all about helping listeners understand their financial situation and how to make the best decisions for their future.
In this episode, Joseph talks to a couple in their mid-twenties who have recently graduated from college and are trying to navigate the financial landscape. Both of them are working in health care as physical therapists, making an annual salary of 76k a year.
The woman owes 208k in student loans and is eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), while the man owes 198k in student loans. They also have 37k in auto debt with payments of $780 per month.
Joseph helps them create a plan for their future by focusing on building an emergency fund, maximizing retirement savings, paying off debt strategically, and looking into home buying opportunities.
He suggests they look into filing jointly or separately--filing separately will save them $4,800 per year on student loans and they can reclassify their tax return in two years and get back another $200 per year. When they have kids this number will increase even more.
Joseph encourages the couple to consider investing conservatively then increase risk so in five years and they would have up to 75% of their investments in the stock market.
With his advice and guidance, Joseph predicts that when it comes time for retirement this couple could be sitting on $8 million! However, if they pay off their student loans rather than going through income-driven repayment (IDR) plan then that number decreases by about $660K worth of assets (roughly $7M)--which is still an impressive amount!
Financial planning can be intimidating but this episode shows how empowering it can be when you take the right steps towards creating a secure financial future for yourself and your family. Tune into this episode of FitBUX podcast for helpful tips from Joseph Reinke!

Today's show will focus on the FIRE movement and the recent event that has brought it into the spotlight. We'll be discussing why financial freedom doesn't have to come with a dollar amount, why you need to simulate your plan and keep tracking it, and how a financial professional shed new light to this idea.
We'll start by exploring what the FIRE movement is all about. This acronym stands for Financial Independence/Retire Early, and it's a popular approach used by people looking to achieve financial freedom. It involves cutting back on expenses and investing wisely in order to build wealth over time in order to reach the goal of becoming financially independent and retiring early.
Then, we'll dive into the story of Financial Samurai, a well-known website among those in the FIRE community. He is a finance professional with experience in this area and has his own blog where he shares advice related to achieving financial freedom.
Next up, we will discuss why this particular example serves as an important lesson for anyone interested in achieving financial freedom. We'll explore how having $1 million does not necessarily equate to being financially free, how budgeting down every nickel isn't necessarily freedom either, and why having a bad attitude towards money isn't ideal either. We'll also talk about how most people wouldn't do something like go after full FIRE due to its high level of commitment-- but still use it as an example of what can be achieved if you are willing to put in the work.
We'll then get into more details about Financial Samurai's actual situation at hand-- he was in his 30s when he retired from his 9-5 job, had real estate generating income for him, had a blog generating income, was living in an expensive area with two kids going off to college-- only to realize that three million dollars worth of assets weren't enough for him! That leads us into our next point as we discuss why simulations are important when trying to figure out where you're at financially and why you can't just "set it and forget it" when it comes managing your finances.
Finally, we will conclude by highlighting how financial freedom is really about how you think about money instead of any arbitrary dollar amount-- something that Financial Samurai realized himself after coming back from retirement-- as well as discussing FitBUX as an easy way for anyone else interested in simulating their own plans and monitoring them closely over time so they don't end up in the same situation!
Today we are discussing how to manage your money wisely, and the risks associated with investing. We are focused on a specific case study of a recent graduate who has some cash in their 401k, Roth IRA and taxable investment account.
The first thing that stands out is that this individual does not have an emergency fund yet. This is quite concerning as an emergency fund is vitally important for any financial plan, especially when starting out in life. Without an emergency fund, our new graduate is left vulnerable to unexpected costs that could potentially derail their entire financial plan.
Another issue here is the risk taking behavior of our graduate. He invested in Tesla stock, which is much riskier than typical investments such as bonds and mutual funds. While it's possible that investing in Tesla can be very lucrative, the probability of attaining these large returns within one to three years is quite low. It would be much wiser to use this money towards building up an emergency fund or expanding their retirement savings instead.
Finally, once their emergency fund and retirement has some more funding, he can look at investing in Tesla again or other stocks they find interesting. It's important to make sure you understand the risks associated with individual stocks before you invest in them - no matter how exciting they may seem!
At FitBUX we want our listeners to make smart decisions about managing their money and taking appropriate risks so they can reach their financial goals. We invite you to join us for more great content on investing and personal finance!
This podcast episode is all about developing a financial plan based on the specific circumstances of a couple.
To illustrate this, we use a real life example of a physical therapist and his fiancé, who are both recent graduates and will be getting married this year. They have saved over 100k between their cash accounts, taxable investments and retirement. They have also paid down their student loans and auto loans to a nominal amount.
This couple plans to move to another stated to work for a few years, before moving back home to buy a duplex. Six months after moving home, they hope to have saved enough to buy a second duplex. The goal is that by 2025 they will have their first child.
Their current combined salary is 137K and will increase to 220K when they move to the other state. Once returning to their home state, she plans on reducing her hours, and reduce them again once they have a child.
We helped them run some scenarios using our financial planning tool to help assess the couple's situation further and to help them plan further. Idealistically, they should reach their goals in under 10 years and predicted that by 2046 - 23 years from now - they would be completely debt free!
Finally we ran another "what if" scenario for them. Listen in to see how our technology can plan for those unplanned scenarios.
