It’s one of the first questions David Chudyk asks every new client. It sounds easy. It isn’t. And the most important word in it is appropriate.
Underneath that question is the most important formula in personal finance: income minus expenses must be greater than zero. A fourth grader can do the math. Yet Goldman Sachs’ 2026 retirement survey found that more than a third of households earning over $500,000 a year say they live payc

Ep 285: The Tax Alpha Protocol # 3...Your Exit tax bill is written before your LOI

Ep 283: Bathroom Floor Moments: Why Smart People Make Emotional Money Decisions with Jax Crider
Knowing the math doesn't make you immune. Just ask Jax Crider. About four years ago, with a down market shrinking her income and a daughter born eight weeks early who spent 47 days in the NICU, Jax and her husband did the financially responsible thing: they listed their big house.
