Flaw Less

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2023/10/27

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/498rCeb We all have flaws. All of us. The problem is that not all of us are aware of our flaws. We are hyper aware of the flaws of those around us, but often blind to our own blemishes. As the Ancient Greek maxim states, “Know thyself.” This is of course not news to you – I am well aware of that. I know that you know that we all have our own flaws. Here’s what I’d like to discuss today though, are we (1) aware of our personal blemishes? and (2) do we have a

To continue the trend, we are now welcoming in James Andrews as this week's guest author on Thoughts On Money.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3RGuE2U Before I gave financial advice, I pedaled bikes. Today, we will discuss the intersection of BMX racing and investing. Specifically, we will unpack how to measure results and some of the common pitfalls result-driven investors and athletes face. I am sure you will enjoy a stroll down my memory lane and the opportunity to grow as investors. So, without further ado, I present Results Driven. Links mentioned in this

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3ZyGe1P Have you ever been scammed? Since the birth of the internet, we the American people, have become quite familiar with scams. We now know to delete any proposal for a financial exchange coming from a Nigerian prince. We dodge these scamming attempts daily. Yet, these scams are still in high production. Why? Unfortunately, because they still work; people are still being duped daily. These scams try to lure you in with a request for a small commitment

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/467qQf8 I am guessing that most of us reading this article have moved at least once or twice in our lifetime. For me, I’ve moved four times over the last ten years. I’ve become familiar with this feeling I get, that tinge of anxiety as I’m preparing for or staring down the barrel of a move. The organizing, the packing, the lifting, the loading, the unloading, the unpacking, etc. It’s a big undertaking. I will say this, though, I’ve definitely matured as a

Stay in Your Lane

2023/09/06

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/44yuUnl Do you ever notice those habitual lane-changers in traffic? There is a lot of activity going on, but they make little progress. There doesn’t seem to be a correlation between how many times you switch lanes and a reduction in your drive time. Often you will observe “lane change regret.” The driver sees opportunity, so they get over, only to then realize that their former lane is now taking off. Investors today are trying to change lanes in

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3OHt2Ti Legacy. Leaving a legacy. Your legacy. What a loaded finance word, right? We know it has depth and meaning, but we don’t always really know what it looks like practically. Join me as I walk through a real life story of legacy and share some practical steps for how you can leave a legacy.

Which article would you be most likely to read? Regardless of your answer, I think you will enjoy today’s discussion on Thoughts On Money.

The Road to Flourishing

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2023/08/04

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/44LNvxf We understand this idea of flourishing as individuals, but even furthermore in a corporate sense. Flourishing as a church community or flourishing alongside your colleagues in business, or flourishing as a family. This is an even deeper aspiration that we would prosper in and with our community. Yet, flourishing isn’t how all of us would describe our life and current status. So, what’s missing? If flourishing is the goal, what is the path to get

2023/07/20

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3Q8lStI I was filling in for David Bahnsen this week on DC Today, and I was reminded how much I enjoy the Ask David section. This is where readers send in questions, and David addresses one question a day on this published public platform. I remember an old teacher always used to encourage our class, “Ask, please ask all the questions you have. If you have a question on your mind, surely that same question is on the mind of a few others.” It was our civic

Your Greatest Asset

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2023/07/14

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3DdMjXk Today’s discussion was a lecture I was giving myself. Is there a place of vulnerability in my financial plan that needs to be addressed? Maybe your plan has some vulnerabilities and gaps, too. I encourage you to get a second pair of eyes on your plan and make sure everything is buttoned up and tidy. Why? Because everything can change in a moment. Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

Financial Heirlooms

2023/07/07

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3JLysv2 The Choice is Yours I recently watched the movie Race, the story of Olympian Jesse Owens. One particular scene stood out to me. Coach Larry Snyder is advising Owens on life/relationship decisions, and he warns, “The choices you’re making right now won’t even feel like choices until it’s too late.” I couldn’t shake that statement. The truth of it haunted me a bit. Whether we realize it or not, the micro-decisions we make today will have an impact

Educating the Next Generation

2023/06/30

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3CVMVkh For me, it was working full-time and attending class in the evening. I saw the burden student debt had on many of my peers, so I chose to pay-as-I-go. Cost and availability of evening classes definitely filtered down my options for college. Today, I want to discuss how you can expand those education options for future generations with good planning and one particular strategy. I hope you will join us as I provide a little more background

2023/06/16

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3qJPIu7 Don’t get me started on medical billing; we’ve got history. In all seriousness, the whole healthcare system has been a major frustration of mine for years. As a single guy, I never had to interact much with my health coverage – I rarely went to the doctor. With getting married and starting a family, much of this changed. Today I will discuss how I morphed these frustrations into a financial planning solution. My hope is that by sharing my

Don't Be a Fair Weather Fan!

2023/06/02

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/45WjDzp In sports, a fair-weather fan is a term for fans who only show up when their teams perform well. We also have a term for fans that rotate their allegiance based on which team is winning and, in vogue, a bandwagon fan While you have to respect those whose fanhood runs deeper than the current performance of their beloved team, born out of loyalty to one's family heritage or hometown, however, your investment strategy must have deeper intellectual

Planning for Leftovers

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3BX4Fve The financial planning industry is obsessed with talking about (1) you not outliving your nest egg and (2) the proper planning on bequeathing your wealth. Yet, there is very little discussion about how one would enjoy their legacy during their lifetime.

The Only Thing We Have to Fear

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2023/05/19

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3MILA6a From my vantage point, a lot of investors are sitting on their hands right now. There seems to be a hesitation to buy real estate, stocks, and any other risk assets. Everyone is in a sit-and-wait posture. I believe much of this is driven by fear, a fear that can be paralyzing for many. Yet, your financial goals do not sit-and-wait. They are dependent on prudent financial decisions and actions.
