***My FIRST book: D is for Diversification: The ABCs of Personal Finance available on Amazon or at www.JonathanOnMoney.com***
1. Talking points: 5 Hidden Investing Lessons From The Megillah
2. This week’s quote is from Isaac Newton where he discusses calculating mans madness.
3. I’m 67 with $200k saved, no debt, and strong income. My advisor says to save 50% of my net income for seven years to retire comfortably. Given my age and health uncertainties, should I prioritize saving or enjoying my money now?
4. A movie outing for my family recently cost $200. With prices so high, is this still a worthwhile use of money?
5. My assets are in an irrevocable trust, and the tax rates are steep. Are there strategies to reduce the trust’s tax burden?
6. Do you ever decline potential clients with eight‑figure or larger portfolios?
7. What’s the best way to determine whether to pay off a large low‑interest debt—like a mortgage or student loan—after receiving a windfall? Beyond obvious extremes, is there a formula for deciding when paying it off makes sense?
8. Timely & Actionable Idea: Simplify your financial life
