ADVANCED FINANCIAL PLANNING 

Are You Asking $100 Questions or $100,000 Questions?

When it comes to financial planning—whether it’s for your lifestyle, retirement, or future generations—there are two types of questions: $100 questions and $100,000 questions.

Every question matters, but if you’re ambitious (as you should be!), focusing on the bigger, wealth-building questions is crucial to achieving your long-term goals, including generational wealth.

For example, asking "What is the best savings account?" is important, but it’s more of a $100 question.

So, what does a $100,000 question look like? Let’s dive into some examples:

1) How much money do you need to live?

It’s essential to figure out how much you need to live on each month, not just now, but in retirement. You’ll also want to consider the legacy you hope to leave for your loved ones.

Some important questions to ask yourself:

  • Do you plan to travel?
  • Will you downsize your home or sell it?
  • Will you relocate to a more affordable country?

Knowing these answers will help you plan how much you'll need in retirement and turn your dream lifestyle into a reality.

2) What is your target retirement date?

When will you need your money? Your target retirement date heavily influences how much you should be saving. If retirement is 5 years away, your savings strategy will look very different compared to someone with a 50-year timeline ( more on this topic in future newsletters)

3) Are you making enough money to fund the life and retirement of your dreams?

In many of my coaching sessions, we discuss the importance of diversifying income streams. With job security becoming less predictable, now is the time to explore other avenues. I've recently updated my FREE webclass  where I share how I built my online business and the due diligence process I followed before investing in it. Be sure to check it out if you want to change the trajectory of your life, retirement and future generations. You will not regre investing one hour of your time to watch it!

4) What is your risk tolerance?

Your risk tolerance determines how you should allocate your investments. Without fully understanding this, you could either miss growth opportunities or take on unnecessary risk that could derail your plans.( more on this topic in future newsletters)

5) What are your investment fees?

Investment fees can eat away at your returns. Whether it’s mutual funds, ETFs, or your financial advisor’s fees, it’s critical to know what you're paying and find ways to cut costs where possible. High fees can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars over time—so don’t overlook this!

What’s Causing the Recent Spike in Global Temperatures?

A recent article out of Yale University addresses this question.

Over the past 18 months, climate scientists have been grappling with an unexpected and sharp rise in global sea surface temperatures. This increase began in March 2023, even before the onset of the El Niño weather pattern, which usually brings warmer conditions. The rise has baffled scientists, with 2023 setting new temperature records month after month. NASA’s chief climate scientist, Gavin Schmidt, described it as “gobsmackingly bananas,” highlighting that no year has defied climate predictions more than 2023.

Several potential contributors to this warming have been identified, such as a change in shipping regulations that reduced sulfur emissions, an unusual underwater volcanic eruption, and heightened solar activity. However, none of these factors—or even their combination—fully explain the significant temperature spike. This uncertainty raises concerns about the reliability of current climate models and suggests that the climate system may be more unpredictable than previously thought.

Schmidt notes that while scientists work to better understand these developments, the larger issue is the urgency of reducing emissions. The recent rapid rise in temperatures underscores that the planet is likely to reach 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming sooner than expected. The focus, Schmidt emphasizes, should be on human decisions regarding emissions, which will have a much larger impact on the future climate than any short-term anomalies.
