A good life doesn't come with a manual.
But if it did, it would include these 9 things:
1. Don’t spend more than you make.
2. Pick a life partner that makes you a better person.
3. Pick a life partner that doesn’t need you to fix them.
4. Define your level of financial peace.
5. Don’t shame yourself.
6. Don’t shame others.
7. Find a skill you want to master, work towards it.
8. If in doubt, gratitude is a cure.
9. Follow campsite rules: Leave a space better than you found it.
What would you add?

Just wanted to do a reintroduction post with the new followers.
My passions: family, service, and fun.
I am a husband 1st and a dad close 2nd.
Besides my sons (toddler and newborn), I have 40+ other kids I consider sons on our football team.
And I love personal finance.

Achieving success is not just about personal wealth; it's the fulfillment that comes from giving back. Growing up, my parents instilled humility and hard work in me. Initially, I questioned why I had to earn everything, while they selflessly gave to others. However, my journey as a high school business teacher taught me invaluable lessons in integrity and accountability.
After more than two decades in education, I reached a career milestone that allowed me to give back, mirroring my parents' generosity. Realizing my good fortune, I found profound satisfaction in supporting a colleague from the Philippines. Providing funds for him to supply students with essentials brought me more joy than any personal accomplishment.
Witnessing the impact in photos, I've committed to continuing these efforts, recognizing the privilege we have! Hope you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it

In general, do you believe money changes people or makes them more of what they are? Meaning a spender will spend more and an investor will invest more. @Rawk_FI

The Fed went on one of the most aggressive rate-hiking cycles in history
It's been 18 months yet the unemployment rate hasn't budged, GDP growth is accelerating & housing prices didn't crash
Can we just admit that no one really understands how the US economy works?

Wealth is defined by four things:
– Money
– Health
– Time
– Relationships
Money is meaningless without the other three.

Active investing is a losing game.
• Only 42% of active funds survive.
• Retail investors underperform the S&P by 30%
• And 90% of fund managers underperform the S&P
So don’t try to pick the winners.
Instead,
• Save time.
• Improve returns.
• Invest passively.
