Happy New Year! 🎆 A recap of an AMAZING 2025 for my clients:

👉🏻 Student loans paid off and gone for good

👉🏻 New jobs and promotions

👉🏻 Vacations and holidays fully cash-flowed

👉🏻 Household budgets that reduced tension and strengthened relationships

👉🏻 Hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt paid off

👉🏻 Retirements and sabbaticals planned

👉🏻 High-yield savings accounts opened and sinking funds established

👉🏻 Systems established to have clearer views of cash flow and spending

👉🏻 College savings plans funded

👉🏻 Retirement savings accelerated

👉🏻 Investing confidence and contributions increased

👉🏻 Tax records and lingering debts brought current

👉🏻 A meaningful reduction in financial stress

👉🏻 Empowerment to make confident, values-aligned financial decisions

I am deeply grateful for the trust my clients placed in me this year. ❤️ Alongside the highlight reel, there were also many tears as we sat together in the muck and navigated loss, grief, heartbreak, and fear. I'm honored to have been a confidante during some of the darkest days.

Wishing you all continued abundance, peace, and progress in the year ahead.

In Health & Wealth,
Alise

📚 Book Talk! These are the next two books I am excited to read - both of these subjects are at the top of my list of financial priorities right now!

"Tax Planning To and Through Early Retirement" is a much-anticipated title within the "early-retiree" and FI crowd. Written by two friends of mine, Sean Mullaney and Cody Garrett, this is available for purchase now - with an official release date of September 23rd! Reducing our LIFETIME tax burden is the goal - and it is an entirely possible and legal strategy.

"Savvy Estate Planning" has come recommended to me by several people. The estate planning (or lack thereof) lessons I learned as a 36-year old widow have only become more important as I've gotten older and my net worth has grown. This is also an important topic to understand as we face the inevitability of dealing with our family members' estates while simultaneously planning our own strategy.

What's your experience with these two topics? Do you think these are important things to put your energy into?

* Summer clothes or shoes that need to be replaced
* Extra fuel for adventures
* Parking fees or entrance fees to parks or attractions
* Parties or entertaining

What else do you need to include for June?

I haven't done a Client WIN Spotlight in a while, but I have a few clients that I am SO DANG THRILLED FOR! Here's the first one:

I recently received a life and financial update from a client I worked with a few years ago - she is a young go-getter who has made some significant financial and life moves in the past three years. 👊🏼 💥 This gal is crushing it and I can't wait to see where she is in three more years!

40 years of stock market history…WAY more GREEN than RED. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Will 2025 be GREEN or RED? No one knows. If they tell you they know, they are lying. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
In 40 years, there’s only been 1 period of multiple RED years in a row. And look at the recovery % after RED years. While historical performance is not indicative of future performance, this makes me feel good for my long-term money even if (when) we have another RED year. ⠀
⠀⠀
Returns represented are total S&P 500 returns including dividends. Average is a simple average of all returns divided by the 40-year sample. This is not how money compounds but is just a metric for presentation purposes. ⠀

My annual December 26th 🎄reminder!

Ok, Christmas is over. Have you paid for it yet or do you have to deal with January credit card bills?⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
I want to end this cycle for you RIGHT NOW. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
How much did you spend on Christmas? Total. Gifts/cards/jammies/food/travel/shipping/decor/wrapping paper. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
ADD IT UP. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Divide that # by 52.⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
$500 / 52 = $9.62⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
$800 / 52 = $15.38⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
$1000 / 52 = $19.23⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
etc, etc, etc...whatever you spent. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
NOW. Yes, RIGHT NOW. Sign on to your bank account and set up an automatic transfer of that much money to happen every week from your checking account to savings. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Don’t touch it ‘til next Christmas. Don’t stop the auto transfer and don’t use the money before Christmas.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Congrats ! You just started a SINKING FUND! ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
And you will CASH FLOW CHRISTMAS 2023!⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
No January financial hangover or guilt. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
💪🏻💰⠀

These are the things I am doing right now. It doesn't have to be overwhelming. Take a screenshot of this, circle the ones that are relevant or important to you, and block some time to tackle them before December 31st. Some of them only take a few minutes.

Have questions about any of these important tasks? Drop your questions in the comments or DM me, and I'll create a story series about them to clear up any confusion or explain the concepts and the "why" behind these housekeeping tasks. If you have a question, you aren't the only one - your questions will undoubtedly help others :-)
