More information probably won't improve your financial health.

For MOST people, they know the basics of what they should do - spend less than they earn, don't take on bad debt, and invest for the future.

It's just like most people KNOW they should eat healthier, drink less caffeine/alcohol, sleep more, and exercise more. But if you look at the stats, PEOPLE AREN'T DOING IT.

More information is a good starting point, but it won't get you to where you want to be. You need a REAL PLAN with REAL VISION of what you want for your life - without it, behavior change is going to be really difficult, and you'll find yourself stuck in the same patterns year over year.

I recently met with a prospect who had been making traditional IRA contributions for years, thinking they were deductible when really they weren't.

A traditional IRA can be a great way to save for retirement with tax-deferred growth, but determining whether your contributions are deductible isnโ€™t always straightforward. Several factors, including income limits and employer plan coverage, come into play.

For those wanting to better understand the rules, here's a downloadable flowchart covering some of the key considerations, such as:

โ—‹ Earned income requirements
โ—‹ Coverage under an employer plan
โ—‹ Impact of other (Roth) IRA contributions
โ—‹ MAGI thresholds based on filing status

How to Open a Trump Account: Step-by-Step Guide

I've noticed some subtle nuances with opening Trump Accounts within the Advisor community-forums, so I thought I'd take the liberty of putting together a visually-friendly, step-by-step guide to opening a Trump Account if you have a minor child of which you are the parent or legal guardian for.

You can view the Step-by-Step Guide to Opening a Trump Account here: https://trueriches-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/zack_truerichesfp_com/IQCfliOilE-mTqnlO2MqsmdCAdeK0cVQQiqJcH6UiOh91kw

If youโ€™ve been thinking about using the equity in your home for a renovation, large purchase, or to help with debt, youโ€™re not alone.

Your home can be a valuable tool to support your broader financial goals, but itโ€™s important to understand the options available. To help, here's a summary guide that walks through three common ways to access home equity:

๐Ÿ‘‰A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
๐Ÿ‘‰A Home Equity Loan
๐Ÿ‘‰A Cash-Out Refinance

It also highlights how they differ in terms of repayment structure, interest rates, loan terms, closing costs, and borrowing limits.

Families with more money than they'll ever realistically need to support their core lifestyle expenses have a challenging truth to face ๐Ÿ‘‡

And you might not be glad with where the money goes after you're gone.

It might be the government taking it in the form of estate taxes, your kids inheriting way too much money for their own good, planting a large tax bill on your heirs, and the list goes on.

While most people spend their whole life trying to simply build 'enough' wealth to provide for their own needs, some folks, through luck, skill, or everything in between, face a different form of "challenge" with their wealth.

If you haven't answered the question: "What is this all for anyways?" then surrounded that WHY with purpose, systems, strategies, and kind accountability, the pursuit of wealth is effectively a chasing after the wind.

Many parents want to start setting money aside for their children, but theyโ€™re often unsure about where they should actually save the money.

There are several options available. Some accounts remain in the parentsโ€™ names and can be gifted later, offering flexibility. Others involve irrevocable gifts that permanently belong to the child. Some strategies provide tax advantages, while others prioritize control or simplicity.

To help support these conversations, Iโ€™ve put together ๐ญฬฒ๐กฬฒ๐ขฬฒ๐ฌฬฒ ฬฒ๐ฬฒ๐จฬฒ๐ฐฬฒ๐งฬฒ๐ฅฬฒ๐จฬฒ๐šฬฒ๐ฬฒ๐šฬฒ๐›ฬฒ๐ฅฬฒ๐žฬฒ ฬฒ๐ ฬฒ๐ฎฬฒ๐ขฬฒ๐ฬฒ๐žฬฒ that walks through several common ways parents save for children, highlighting the pros and cons of each option and why someone might consider one strategy over another.

I'm excited to have recently joined the growing movement of Finish Line Advisors!

Finish Line Advisors are simply Christian Financial Advisors that have taken the pledge to set their own financial finish line by setting a cap on their annual spending (and for me, net worth) and transparently sharing that within a trusted community of fellow advisors doing their best to implement the very framework we advise clients to do.

A big shoutout to Cody and Kealan Hobelmann for their hard work and faithfulness in creating these free resources for those wanting to explore a practical framework that carries strong biblical foundation โ€” check out their thoughtful and data-driven finish line calculator at:
