People always ask me how I plan for big expenses without blowing my budget. And my mentor taught me about sinking funds. Here’s how they work and why I keep mine in a high-yield savings account. 🧵
Every time your income increases, your lifestyle should not automatically follow. Most people get a raise and immediately upgrade everything. (New phone, new apartment, new outings, new everything) The income went up but the savings stayed the same. This is lifestyle inflation, and it...
The most expensive financial mistake people might make is NOT a bad investment... It's an unreviewed one. - A policy bought 10 years ago. - A fund set up and forgotten. - A beneficiary nomination that hasn't been updated since before the children...

Everyone knows what a will is. Almost nobody knows what it actually can't do. A will can't bypass probate. A will can't protect assets from your creditors. A will can't prevent a contested estate. A will can't control how your money is used after...

I don’t need to be a millionaire for this to be true: 7 - 8 = -1 The stock market, after inflation, has returned about 7%. If you are withdrawing 8%, what does that leave you with over time? BROKE. 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞 This...

Iranian Foreign Minister dooming on how the 60/40 portfolio has performed worst since 2022 https://t.co/6DF87cVo4R
Long duration Treasuries performance now roughly matches the performance of the S&P 500 from July of last year. Think about that - duration is performing like stocks. That's a cycle shift starting.
I've talked a lot about stocks and commodities and the new 60/40. This is basically that

With stocks and bonds positively correlated again (but in the wrong direction), there’s a bit of 2022 déjà vu right now. Back in 2022 as the cost of capital reset after years of ultra-low rates, the 60/40 model broke down...
When a stock you own drops 25% it's an "opportunity". When it drops 10% more you call the CEO to verify the thesis and buy more. When it drops 10% more you get annoyed insiders aren't buying. When it drops...

There's something about retirement planning most people never consider: what happens if you live to 95? Let me explain. Most plans are built around averages. Average life expectancy. Average healthcare costs. Average market returns. But averages are built from a range, and the people...
Buying stocks = gambling? For some people, yes. For others, no. If you understand what you’re buying and why, it’s not gambling. But if you’re buying stocks without knowing how to read a balance sheet or what a P/E ratio is, it is gambling. If...

Li Lu on how to become a great investor "Start learning from the best - listening, studying, and reading. The best way to do it is to study one business inside and out for the purpose of making the investment."
I've sat across from people with $3M portfolios who couldn't answer a basic question: what is this money actually for? Not in vague terms. Specifically. What are you building toward, and by when?

I just had several days at a planning conference where several presenters discussed the long-term reliability of selecting quality stocks that showed resilience regardless of economic conditions, fiscal stimulus or inflationary environments. Example below of a popular concentrated portfolio of high-quality...

A will tells people what to do with your assets. A trust tells your assets what to do without needing anyone's permission. That's the difference most people miss.
There's a fine line between conviction and denial. Holding on when the thesis is intact? That's discipline. Holding on because admitting you're wrong hurts? That's ego. The facts don't care which one it is. Your portfolio doesn't either.
