Most people in this world are chasing at least one of three things: wealth, power, or fame. Some want all three, some settle for one or two. Many never stop their chase, but never really ask why they chase what they’re chasing. For me, the choice is clear: I want wealth—but not fame, and certainly […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
Most people don’t know this about buffalo, but they’re wired differently than almost every other animal in the wild. When a storm rolls in, cattle and other animals instinctively turn and run away from it. The problem is, they can’t outrun it. By running with the storm, they actually prolong their suffering—exposing themselves to wind, […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
After revisiting some Jim Rohn audio, I felt compelled to share what was swirling around that gray matter of mine between the ears. That audio led me to create what I’m not referring to as the P’s and C’s to living a prosperous life. When I think about what it takes to live a truly […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
Let’s get something straight. Money is a tool! By itself it is nothing more than paper and metal, but it is a powerful means to many different ends. It provides the one who has it with optionality. Simply put, it is the tool that enables its possessor to both live well and give well. On this […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
Be someone’s first believer. Because sometimes, belief is the spark that ignites everything. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” That idea has shaped so much of how I think about relationships, growth, and influence. It’s not just a reminder to audit your circle; […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
There’s a quote often attributed to Jack Lemmon that says: “No matter how far you go in life, you must always send the elevator back down.” That idea has stuck with me for as long as I can remember. I’ve been fortunate to have people in my life who took an interest in me without […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
As I type this my nearly three-month-old son is sleeping next to me on the couch. Oh boy, has our life changed over these past three months! We are stoked to be parents and amazed that we were able to create another human being. We are excited to guide our son into adulthood over the […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
I’ve been on an extraordinary compounding journey since starting my business in 2019. From the beginning, I built the business with the end in mind—a decision that I believe was critical to the success we’ve achieved. To be clear, when I say “we,” I’m referring to both myself and my partners who helped build the […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
The “Golden Rule” to building wealth is to spend less than you earn and invest the difference wisely. Embedded in the rule are three levers that drive the wealth equation and ultimately determine not only the level of wealth you build but also the speed at which you can ultimately achieve financial freedom. Those three […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
I hold a certain strong belief that’s consistently helped me to keep things in perspective. I remind Mrs. GYFG that “things always work out” – eventually, and most of the time. Even though it can sometimes feel like life happens to you, I have found that it actually happens for you. Mindset and perception are […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
The law of 50/50 has served us so well in our financial lives, I decided to also apply it to how I spend my time. My love of money is really about the optionality it provides, and that is especially true with how I spend my time – especially these days. If you were to […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
One of the things I love about blogging most is the historical reference points left in the posts I publish. I started a business in early 2019 with the full intention of selling it. Some people dream of building a business that they run and then pass on to the next generation. In contrast, the […]| Gen Y Finance Guy
