  • FM 026: Understanding What Todd Means By "Epochal Change"
    Nov 15 2022

    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% market decline, the highest inflation in 40 years, and a slowing economy. The bad news is there's still more to come.

    But more importantly, epochal change means the investment rules changed for the next 10-15 years. What worked for the last epoch (40+ years) cannot be relied upon for the next epoch.

    I've been writing about this very topic for two years in my private course community to prepare them, and I've published resources every month for more than a year in my public facing newsletter to prepare my free subscribers as well.

    My goal was to provide the knowledge required so that every person following my work could protect and prepare their portfolios in advance. Forewarned is forearmed.

    While my private course community responded to the education, protected themselves, and even prospered, I was surprised that only a small percentage of my public facing, free subscribers took action.

    Even though I was providing academic level, third-party research proving ever point made, people weren't responding. It was like they were asleep at the wheel, and didn't believe the regime was fundamental in nature and would persist..

    I decided to check in with my course community in our weekly office hours call.

    Our discussion was so valuable  that I wanted to share it publicly. Fortunately, my private community students agreed.

    This podcast episode is an almost unedited recording of one my weekly office hours support calls with my private Expectancy Wealth Planning community as we discuss epochal change.

    I hope this inside look helps you take appropriate action to secure your financial future.

  • FM 025: FIRE Case Study with Chris Mamula
    Jun 13 2018
    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 financial independence and early retirement reality differ from your idealized vision. The truth is everyone hits potholes, makes mistakes, and questions if it's worth all the hard work. Our guest, Chris Mamula, is no different. He candidly shares his FIRE story in this interview - warts, blemishes, and victories as well. Despite several costly errors he managed to achieve financial freedom in just 5 years. Chris paid excessive fees to a financial advisorHe bought a variable annuity within a 401(k)He felt "less than" when comparing himself to other FIRE success storiesBut he got several critical factors right like keeping expenses low and saving a high percentage of his income, and that proved to be good enough. Financial freedom isn't about luck, brains, or a single great investment. It's about having a valid plan based on proven principles and taking sufficient action with enough persistence to reach the goal (exactly as taught in my Expectancy Wealth Planning course here). Anyone can do it, and these case studies prove it. I hope you enjoy the example Chris has shared. And if you got great value from Chris's story then please check out the other FIRE success case studies on this podcast. In this episode you'll discover: What inspired Chris and his wife to become financially independentWhy Chris is so debt-adverse, and how it worked to his advantageHow Chris adopted the term "dirt bag millionaire"The important role values play for achieving financial independence (they matter way more than you think)Chris's personal definition of financial independenceHow the 25x Rule, Rule of 300 and 400, and 4% Rule can give you a rough benchmark of how much money to aim for in retirementThe mistake that occurs when you get overly focused on retiring earlyHow to balance spending now versus saving for the futureWhat Chris did once he realized how unhappy he had become on this journeyHow to avoid the insidious trap of "I'll be happy when I'm retired"The benefits of continued work after financial independenceHow to redefine what early retirement and financial independence mean, and why it mattersAbundance versus scarcity in early retirementHow Chris's plan reflects the "new retirement"The surprising reason why most people pursuing financial independence will continue to workRisk management for early retirementThe key to understanding mathematical expectancyWhy it's paramount to become your own financial expert, lest you get taken for a ride by your financial advisorThe danger of financial advisor fees. Chris was paying over around $8,000 every year!The tax consequences Chris and his wife faced for not doing their due diligence quickly enoughWhy it might make sense to select a fee-only financial advisor instead of one paid via commissionsHow the pursuit of financial independence changes your thinking at a fundamental levelWhy learning to be happy and present is key in the journey, and how to take responsibility for your happinessThe resources that were most helpful to Chris in jumping into investing without any prior knowledgeOther sources of income that Chris and his wife are looking intoWhy Chris doesn't feel like he really paid a price to become financially freeHow living in alignment with your values creates happinessand much more....
