Busy looking out at the #Boston housing market this spring? Wondering when you should buy?⁠

To make decisions in the present - where you don't have the benefit of hindsight - we must focus on what we can know and control. You can do that by:⁠

Can you withdraw the money in your taxable brokerage account any time you want to? Technically yes, realistically NO.⁠

LET US EXPLAIN:⁠

Again, technically yes, you can withdraw money at any time.⁠

Wealth is about a lot more than money. It's about control of your time. It's the ability to choose what you do day-to-day. It's the quality of your relationships and the people who surround you.⁠

You can make great money - but still feel unsure of how to make optimal choices with it.⁠

Wealth is having the resources you need to experience want at every stage of your life.⁠

Most people focus on the question of how do you enjoy that kind of financial success for yourself. A lot of financial advice, in turn, focuses on the mechanics of building wealth.⁠

HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO SAVE EACH YEAR?⁠

☝️ probably the most common question we get as #financialplanners.⁠

Regardless of income, goals, relationship, or family status, everyone wants to know the "right" amount to save NOW in order to have enough TOMORROW.⁠

What should a #financialplan look like? What's the process for getting yours in place? And how can you serve as a good steward of your #money - so that it ACTUALLY buys you happiness?⁠

When we develop investment plans for clients, we use a strategic asset allocation strategy across many asset classes. The point is to allow for portfolios to see gains when times are good - and to spread the risk of loss when things feel a bit uncertain.

Something our #financialplanning clients continuously teach us at BYH:⁠

Interesting thought experiment... what would you do if Facebook (and Twitter, and Instagram, etc) was gone tomorrow?⁠

What would you spend the HOURS of your time that you put into these platforms on instead? Think about that. Then maybe go spend your time differently RIGHT NOW.⁠
