A few years ago, Baby Boomers were asked the following question: In retirement, are you more worried about dying or running out of money?

Two-thirds of those who responded overwhelmingly said: “Running out of money!”

How many of the things listed on the napkin do you already have in place? At WealthWave, we call these the Seven Money Milestones. I help people put these Milestones into place to have a more secure retirement.

Want to know your Financial Independence Number and more about the Seven Money Milestones? Book a quick Informational Meeting with me (https://calendly.com/stevelavezza/30min) to find out.

April is Financial Literacy month, and WealthWave, the Financial Education division of my organization, just launched a huge study to see how financially literate the US is.

Here's the link Financial Literacy Quiz (https://financialliteracyindex.com/stevelavezza/quiz) which takes about five-to-ten minutes to complete. When you have a chance, please take the quiz for me. Can you get a higher score than your spouse, partner, brother, sister, mother, father, BFF? Challenge them and then GLOAT!

Additional Information about taking the quiz:

Once you finish the quiz, you will see your score and percentage achieved on the quiz. Please click the “Get Your Complete Results” button to see a more detailed view of your results. You will be taken to a page that asks you for your Demographic information. Please note that this information is anonymous. Answer the questions via the drop-down lists and click “Submit to View Your Results” to see how you compare.

Finally, do one of two things once you get to this “Your Financial Literacy Quiz Results“ page: 1.) Email me the results (your score and percentage) of how you did, and/or 2.) Click “Save Results as a PDF” to get a more detailed report. If you “Save Results as a PDF,” you will be asked for some basic information. Please know that you are not going to get spammed and your results are not reported by name. Adding the info simply allows you to download the detailed PDF of the results and lets me know that you completed the quiz.

Thanks for taking time to test your knowledge,

As a life-long educator, I am dedicated to our crusade here at WealthWave to stamp out Financial Illiteracy within the next couple of decades.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself for Financial Literacy Month:

1. Do you know your FIN (Financial Independence Number)?

2. Is the Rule of 72 working for you or against you?

3. Did you know that there are three ways you can be taxed? Tax Now, Tax Later, or Tax Favored (as in Taxed NEVER Again).

Want to learn more, book a Fifteen Minute Discovery call (https://calendly.com/stevelavezza/15-minute-discovery-call-zoom) with Steve to explore the answers to these pressing questions.

Did you know that April is Financial Literacy Month, and I wanted to share a few frightening statistics. I would have posted yesterday, but I didn't want you to think I was making an April Fools Joke.

First, Financial ILLITERACY is the biggest economic crisis in the world that impacts millions of people. Second, most Americans can't handle a $400 emergency. Maybe they should reconsider their monthly spending habits and consider channelling some of that money into an emergency fund for that unexpected expense.

As I look at these average monthly spending habits, I know some of these numbers are much higher for me. For example, Events at $30 -- I can't take my wife and daughter to a movie for $30, and I'm not including the popcorn.

Do you know where your money is going?

It's time to GET LIT... ..Financially LITerate that is.

Stay tuned for some tips, tricks, and helpful financial education.

My New Year's wish for you is that 2025 is filled with Health, Happiness, and Prosperity.

As the old year fades away and a new one begins, many people make New Year's Resolutions. Sadly, most resolutions fail by National Quitters Day which is usually the second Friday in January.

Rather than making a bunch of resolutions you won't keep, try working on a few small steps each day to help you live the life you deserve and desire.

Read the blog "Reinventing Yourself in 2025" (https://wealthwave.com/stevelavezza/blog/reinventing-yourself-in-2025) by the founder of WeathWave, Tom Matthews, and let me know what ideas resonate with you the most.

Happy New Year!

Only 59% of Americans have life insurance, and nearly half of them are underinsured.

In addition, 44% of families would feel financial hardship within six months of losing their primary income earner.

People ask "How much coverage do I need?" The industry standard is ten times your annual income. I believe that it all depends on a lot of factors. Ten times your income might be just right, too much, or too little.

With a statistic like that, most people choose not to explore life insurance because they think it's too expensive.
