Getting Rich Slowly is for Losers:

If you've been looking for a proven method to become wildly wealthy by next Tuesday, this month's blog is for you.

Getting Rich Slowly is for Losers explores the timeless investing strategy of ignoring fundamentals, concentrating everything into a single "can't miss" opportunity, and confusing luck with skill. In other words, it examines the exact behavior that seems to reappear every few years in financial markets.

The article is obviously satire, but the underlying lesson is serious. The greatest fortunes are rarely built overnight. More often, they're built quietly through consistency, patience, and decades of good decisions that nobody finds particularly exciting.

Unfortunately, "getting rich slowly" makes for a terrible headline. It just happens to work.

A Market Crash Isn't Your Greatest Retirement Risk, This Is

Most people think a market crash is their biggest risk in retirement or the years leading up to it. Everyone's heard about so-and-so who "lost everything" two months before retirement. Add that to the fact that media sources everywhere tell you the next crash is only months, if not days, away. It's no wonder we're so afraid.

But the biggest risk is actually uncertainty...not of the market, but of your own retirement plan and strategy:
→ Not knowing whether your income will last
→ Not planning for taxes or healthcare costs
→ Not having a clear, coordinated strategy

When this uncertainty is removed (with proper comprehensive planning), retirement feels like freedom and even the "fear of a market crash" won't shake that confidence.

What I've been up to lately

Summer is full of coaching and watching baseball for me, but recently we took a quick trip to a hole-in-the-wall lake that holds lots of great family memories. Unfortunately, I missed the family photo op when packing up for the day, but definitely a great time had by all.
