101 | A Crumbling Pillar: Managing Investments

Investments are a distraction.

For decades, we've tied financial advice to investments in a way that misleads, disorients, and confuses us to what actually matters when it comes to our financial well being.

There are plenty of things to discuss when it comes to investments, but the impact and importance of those things diminishes quickly once you check a few basic boxes.

How we generate sustainable income, find contentment in our spending, and ensure accessibility in our saving drives 95% of the feelings and outcomes that we experience with money, but we've tricked ourselves into believing that income, spending, and saving are stepchildren to a sexy investing strategy.

Just because investments are the easiest thing to market, deliver, and brag about doesn't mean we have to anchor our financial well being to them.

A pillar of the industry is crumbling and we're building a new one - we review investment options, we review investment performance, we give investment advice, and even help adjust your investment allocation if needed, but we do not manage investments.
