Happy New Year! ๐ A recap of an AMAZING 2025 for my clients:
๐๐ป Student loans paid off and gone for good
๐๐ป New jobs and promotions
๐๐ป Vacations and holidays fully cash-flowed
๐๐ป Household budgets that reduced tension and strengthened relationships
๐๐ป Hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt paid off
๐๐ป Retirements and sabbaticals planned
๐๐ป High-yield savings accounts opened and sinking funds established
๐๐ป Systems established to have clearer views of cash flow and spending
๐๐ป College savings plans funded
๐๐ป Retirement savings accelerated
๐๐ป Investing confidence and contributions increased
๐๐ป Tax records and lingering debts brought current
๐๐ป A meaningful reduction in financial stress
๐๐ป Empowerment to make confident, values-aligned financial decisions
I am deeply grateful for the trust my clients placed in me this year. โค๏ธ Alongside the highlight reel, there were also many tears as we sat together in the muck and navigated loss, grief, heartbreak, and fear. I'm honored to have been a confidante during some of the darkest days.
Wishing you all continued abundance, peace, and progress in the year ahead.
In Health & Wealth,
Alise

๐ Book Talk! These are the next two books I am excited to read - both of these subjects are at the top of my list of financial priorities right now!
"Tax Planning To and Through Early Retirement" is a much-anticipated title within the "early-retiree" and FI crowd. Written by two friends of mine, Sean Mullaney and Cody Garrett, this is available for purchase now - with an official release date of September 23rd! Reducing our LIFETIME tax burden is the goal - and it is an entirely possible and legal strategy.
"Savvy Estate Planning" has come recommended to me by several people. The estate planning (or lack thereof) lessons I learned as a 36-year old widow have only become more important as I've gotten older and my net worth has grown. This is also an important topic to understand as we face the inevitability of dealing with our family members' estates while simultaneously planning our own strategy.
What's your experience with these two topics? Do you think these are important things to put your energy into?

40 years of stock market historyโฆWAY more GREEN than RED. โ โ
โ โ
Will 2025 be GREEN or RED? No one knows. If they tell you they know, they are lying. โ โ
โ โ
In 40 years, thereโs only been 1 period of multiple RED years in a row. And look at the recovery % after RED years. While historical performance is not indicative of future performance, this makes me feel good for my long-term money even if (when) we have another RED year. โ
โ โ
Returns represented are total S&P 500 returns including dividends. Average is a simple average of all returns divided by the 40-year sample. This is not how money compounds but is just a metric for presentation purposes. โ
