rabbit holes of the internet that's like, you can do this passive thing.

It's so simple and easy.

It's not.

It's a bumper sticker.

Let's go.

If you answer the question really honestly with what do you want financially, what's going to make you happy?

And for everyone that's different, if you are going to be stoked in retirement, living on a small piece of land with your lawn chair from Target, amazing.

Let's stick to that and not change the goalposts on ourselves when we scroll on Instagram and we see like our friend's friend with a yacht and be like, oh my God, I suck at life.

Because

I think you can have it all, but only if you truly define what it all means and stop changing the definition on yourself mid game, because that's when it doesn't work.

And I think that's why it's really important to work with any, you know, trusted wealth advisor that you have.

We have these conversations all the time.

Like,

it's nice to have an accountability partner and somebody who's going to keep you honest with what your goals are.

You know, people will call and say, well, you know, I want to get this or that or whatever, or why am I not getting this?

It's like, hold on.

Like we went through like your whole goals and all of the, you know, breakdown of timeline here.

That's not what's on there.

We can change that.

You can always change that, but stay really true and honest to what that looks like for you in your most honest, quiet moment.
