How to Revise Your Financial Game Plan Post Multi-Millionaire Status
The only thing that changes in a good financial plan is perpetual change. In August 2023, my household hit a net worth of $1,000,000. We were officially millionaires in an era when we were told it was impossible for people like us. My wife, in her infinite wisdom, said, “We aren’t millionaires until we both have a million.” While that didn’t mathematically make sense in any realm of accounting, I figured it might be best to push for the $2 million target. On July 19, 2025, my wife and I reached our latest milestone of $1,900,000 in net worth. We are now just $100,000 away from $2 million. While my…

I was watching one of my favorite ‘Retire Early and Travel the World’ couples the other day and found that they have been struggling. After watching the 1 hour and 23 minutes YouTube vlog, it was clear that they weren’t ready for retirement. To be fair, no one is ever truly ready to retire. Even the Financial Samurai blogger had regrets. In April 2024, they sold everything, and for the first few months, Gean and Kristine (Fire We Go) were locked in. Typically, people will downsize and even trade in their bigger homes for something smaller. In addition to this, this couple set out to see the world and take…

How to Navigate Finances in High Price-Inflation Waters. Q/A Recap
I was recently invited to participate in a panel titled, “How to navigate finances in 2025”. Given the change in the U.S. administration, global wars, and financial instability, this was the right call for Florida State University’s Black Alumni Association. By the time the bat signal went up, America dove $600 trillion into the muck of tariffs and supposed liberations. When the panel came around, we’ve all but rebounded. It’s pretty much pandemonium. JPMorgan said we are headed into a recession one day, and the next month stated that we will be in a +8% performance year. The financial experts don’t know what will happen at any given turn. Deuces…
