FM 026: Understanding What Todd Means By “Epochal Change”

Nov 15 2022 65 mins  
  Two years ago, I announced to my Expectancy Wealth Planning course community that we were about to enter epochal change. Between the Fed's permissive monetary policy, near-zero interest rates, Covid stimulus, and supply-chain issues, it was clear the game had changed. And here we are now, with a 20% stock market decline, historic bond market decline, the highest inflation

FM 025: FIRE Case Study with Chris Mamula

Jun 11 2018 60 mins  
I love sharing FIRE case studies to inspire you. They prove the dream really is achievable for normal people with no extraordinary financial skills. They also unmask the dream to show how the reality of financial independence and early retirement differ from your idealized vision. The truth is everyone hits potholes, makes mistakes, and questions if it's worth all the hard work.

FM 024: How To Pay For College When You Don’t Qualify for Financial Aid, with Brad Baldridge & Jocelyn Paonita

Nov 27 2017 112 mins  
The cost of college is ridiculous. You can give your child a top quality education or s/he can have a home free-and-clear plus retirement fully funded instead. That trade-off doesn't make any financial sense. Sure, I'm a huge fan of education. I believe in the importance of the college experience as a valuable launch-pad into adulthood, but the cost of college shouldn't be so out

FM 023: Get Your Financial Goals Faster In Business With Brennan Dunn

Jun 27 2017 74 mins  
The business entrepreneur path to financial freedom has many advantages over real estate and paper assets. * You can grow your wealth faster in business than any other asset class. * You can achieve personal freedom, the real goal of financial freedom, long before you're actually rich because your passive income is not connected to equity. It's driven by business systems instead

FM 022: The Shocking Truth About Life After Financial Independence with Tess Vigeland

Nov 18 2016 50 mins  
How will you define yourself after you retire? Who are you without your career? The unfortunate truth is most people attach their self-definition to their professional life. This results in unexpected emotional difficulty when you achieve financial independence or retire early. You're not alone in this mistake. I did the exact same thing. It's a common problem. I incorrectly beli

FM 021: Money and Relationships with Farnoosh Torabi

Apr 28 2015 63 mins  
Your spouse can make or break you financially. That's no surprise, given how money is one of the leading causes of divorce. But there is much more to the relationship and money question than just divorce or marital bliss. Unless you plan on being single forever, this is an issue that should concern you. It's important to know how to talk about money with your spouse, and it's equ

FM 020: How to Get Rich Slowly with J.D. Roth

Apr 22 2015 81 mins  
Everyone wants to know how to get rich, but few ever get there. The answer is surprisingly simple, but most people seem to have a passion for making things needlessly complicated. The first step to achieving financial success is you need a rock solid financial foundation. Otherwise, you could have all the money in the world, but no clue on how you should manage it. A poor financi

Wealth is math. That's bad news for math phobics, but it's great news for the rest of us because it means there are rules and science behind how wealth building works. It isn't random luck. In Episode 19 of the Financial Mentor podcast we'll explore the most essential math principle to wealth building – the expected value formula. This essential principle eludes most people

FM 018: How To Break Through Your Most Stubborn Limiting Beliefs With Dane Maxwell

Apr 14 2014 77 mins  
Success is about people first. If it was just about how-to's then we would all be thin, rich, and happy because all the knowledge you need to attain anything you want in life already exists. You just have to learn it and implement it. But it doesn't work that way. You aren't a perfect, rational computer. You don't just process information, make plans, and produce results in a log

FM 017: Why “Follow Your Passion” Is Bad Advice with Cal Newport

Mar 24 2014 60 mins  
You've heard it repeated so many times that you no longer question if it is true. In fact, the career success literature is so overwhelmingly dominated with this dangerous myth that almost nobody disagrees with it. The only problem is, it's not true! What is it, you ask? It's called “the passion hypothesis”. The premise is you should do what you love and the money wil
