In this episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, ⁠Erik Garcia⁠, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ and ⁠Xavier Angel⁠, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC® begin a two-part series on how wealth is actually built and why it often looks boring in real life. In Part 1, they tackle three common myths that derail people before wealth ever has a chance to compound. From the belief that wealth is built by luck or big breaks, to the assumption that it is reserved for the privileged few, to the misconception that a high income guarantees financial success, Erik and Xavier unpack the cultural narratives that cause people to quit too early. Drawing on research, real-life stories, and years of experience in financial planning, they explain why wealth is more accessible than most people believe but slower than most people expect. They emphasize that financial success is less about flashy wins and more about mindset, discipline, and intentional decision-making over time. If you have ever felt behind, discouraged, or tempted to chase the next big move, this episode reframes what real wealth-building looks like and sets the stage for Part 2, where they reveal the three ingredients that consistently build lasting wealth. Episode Highlights: Erik mentions that the episode was inspired by conversations at a business conference about what leads people to grow wealth and the myths they tell themselves along the way. (01:30) Erik discusses the idea that wealthy people made their money overnight through one big deal or a viral moment, noting these are exceptions rather than the rule. (06:40) Xavier shares that the average age of a successful business founder is 45, and how that statistic brought visible relief to a business owner who feared she was too late. (10:55) Erik mentions that eight out of ten wealthy people are first-generation, meaning wealth is more accessible than most believe, but requires patience and consistency. (16:20) Erik defines wealth as optionality: having low debt, financial margin, and the freedom to use money for what is most important rather than being backed into a corner. (21:35) Xavier discusses the discouragement that comes when progress feels invisible, reminding listeners that wealth is forming beneath the surface long before the outside world sees it. (26:10) Xavier shares the bonus myth that a high income is required to build wealth, and Erik shares the story of a woman who built a five-million-dollar estate while never earning much money. (29:30) Key Quotes: “Experience and industry familiarity were more important than just pure intelligence when it comes to building wealth. It's a slow grind sometimes to build wealth. It's not overnight.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ “If you're following the right processes, if you're taking the right steps of what it leads to be successful, then it's going to come with time.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ “ Wealth is built in the gaps between what you make and what you keep, and the behavior matters more than the income alone.” - Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC® Resources Mentioned: ⁠Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™⁠ ⁠Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC®⁠ ⁠Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

Whether you were born rich, poor, or somewhere in between, money has always been an integral part of your life. However, too many people have fears and other unhealthy emotions around money. These debilitating beliefs are often subconscious, shaped by a lifetime of early experiences seen through other people—not based on objective reality. So can you break free from these restrictive beliefs and emotions, be able to “dream big,”—and actually accomplish your hopes and dreams? The answer is yes: Now, there is a way to harness the powerful energy around money and build real wealth.Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, LLC has no affiliation with LPL Financial, Sequoia Wealth Management, or JMC Wealth Management, Inc.

In this milestone episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™, and co-host Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC®, reflect on what they've learned after reaching 100 episodes of honest, practical money conversations.  This episode looks back at why the podcast started, the gaps in financial education that inspired it, and the themes that kept showing up again and again in conversations with clients, guests, and listeners. Erik and Xavier share the biggest money lessons reinforced over the past 100 episodes, the moments that challenged their thinking, and why behavior, mindset, and consistency matter far more than financial hacks or headlines. They also pull back the curtain on what it really takes to stay consistent, grow personally and professionally, and keep showing up for meaningful conversations about money. Episode Highlights: Xavier explains that his dress code changed in 2020 when he joined the firm after Erik's dad told him he could relax and wear polos instead of formal attire. (03:35) Erik discusses his podcasting history, including 65 episodes of Building Us with Dr. Matt Morris during COVID, before starting Stuff About Money. (06:10) Erik shares that the hardest part of podcasting isn't coming up with topics but maintaining consistency with recording every two weeks. (09:35) Erik explains the podcast is part of their vision to resource people for wise financial decisions and reinforce behaviors that lead to success. (11:25) Xavier highlights compounding interest as the most popular response when guests are asked what they wish they knew about money 20 years ago. (12:30) Xavier recalls Billy Williams' advice that stuck with him: if you can't pay for it twice, you can't afford it. (19:50) Erik discusses the responsibility of sharing information on the podcast since they're talking about money topics that could change people's lives. (24:20) Erik explains he pushes back against giving prescriptive advice because personal finance is as much personal as it is finance. (26:10) Erik shares three simple things to build wealth: spend less than you make, save as much as you can, and don't do anything foolish. (28:50) Erik announces two future episode series ideas: interviewing faith leaders about money and exploring emotions like greed and fear that drive financial decisions. (31:15) Xavier shares his key takeaway for listeners: if something is uncomfortable and hard, keep moving forward with intentionality instead of stopping. (33:15) Erik and Xavier announce they'll start doing solo episodes beginning in February to share personal experiences and lessons independently. (37:00) Key Quotes: "Our vision here of the firm is to really resource people to make wise financial decisions. The podcast is part of that vision." - Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA "Most financial decisions are not made on spreadsheets. They're made with emotions." - Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA "If something is uncomfortable, it's hard, and if it's hard, keep moving forward. Don't stop doing what you're doing.

In this solo episode of the Stuff About Money podcast, Erik Garcia CFP®, BFA™, ChFC®, reflects on King Cake season in New Orleans, an annual reminder that some things are wonderful precisely because they don't last forever. Between questionable calorie intake and the collective sugar coma that sweeps the city, Erik is grateful that King cake is a season, not a lifestyle. That rhythm sparks a bigger conversation about money and how so much of our financial stress comes from forgetting that money, too, has seasons. Erik breaks down the three financial seasons he most often discusses with clients: laying the foundation, building on that foundation, and eventually spending down and distributing assets. Each season comes with different demands, priorities, and emotional pressures, and many “bad” financial decisions are only bad because they're made in the wrong season of life. He also explores how these seasons show up for business owners, from startup to growth to exit. If money feels tight, confusing, or heavier than expected, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and a reminder that you're probably not doing it wrong. You may just be in a different season. If it resonates, follow the show and share it with someone who could use that reminder. Episode Highlights: Erik discusses three financial phases: laying a foundation, building on it, and spending down your accumulated assets. (04:15) Erik shares his biggest financial mistake: trying to accumulate in five years everything that took his parents decades to build. (05:35) What makes a financial decision bad isn't always the decision itself, but making it in the wrong season of life. (07:45) The foundation-laying season is characterized by tight margins, high demands, and competing financial priorities like homeownership, transportation, and student loan repayment. (09:25) Erik explains that restraint doesn't mean selling yourself short, but preparing yourself for the future, and making hard decisions early makes transitions easier. (12:50) Regardless of income level, clients face a common challenge: people tend to spend or tie up their money in proportion to what they earn. (16:10) Not spending every dollar isn't a sign of missing out on life; it's good stewardship and wise money management. (18:30) Erik mentions that most small businesses fail not because they're bad ideas, but because they run out of cash. (22:00) Financial seasons have beginnings and endings, making it valuable to pause and reflect on where you currently are in your money journey. (24:50) Erik discusses the value of working with a financial planner who understands your values and the season of life you're in. (26:10) The reality that seasons are temporary makes having trusted guidance in your financial life incredibly valuable. (27:15) Key Quotes: “Restraint doesn't mean that you're selling yourself short. You're preparing yourself for the future.” - Erik Garcia CFP®, BFA™, ChFC® “Making good decisions that are in alignment with your values, that are in alignment with the season that you're in. It's important.” - Erik Garcia CFP®, BFA™, ChFC® “I love the fact that more and more people aren't just quitting or retiring completely, that they recognize they have something still to give.

It's the notion that we each have specific emotions — or emotional patterns — attached to money that were imprinted on us before we even had a choice to open a checking account. Whether you recognize it or not, those emotions influence every financial decision you make today. They shape how you earn money… how you keep it… and why, for many, it seems to go out the door faster than it comes in.These feelings aren't just fleeting reactions — they directly impact how much wealth you'll build throughout your entire life.Discover the power of a heart-centered approach!

In this episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, Xavier Angel, CFP®, is joined by Shannon Mehaffey Ory, Owner and Senior Care Consultant at Avila Senior Advisors, for an honest conversation about something every family will face but few feel prepared for: caring for aging parents. Whether care needs change slowly or arrive overnight after a fall, hospitalization, or diagnosis, Xavier and Shannon unpack why families often find themselves making major financial and care decisions under stress, emotion, and time pressure, usually without a plan. With over a decade of experience across senior housing, memory care, home care, and mission-based work with the homebound and aging, Shannon brings clarity to a confusing and emotionally charged process. Together, she and Xavier walk through six essential things families need to understand about long-term care, including why crisis-based decisions are the most expensive, why Medicare assumptions can be dangerous, and how understanding care options like assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing changes everything. At the heart of this episode is a simple but powerful truth: early planning gives families options, peace of mind, and the ability to honor their loved one's wishes. If you have aging parents, or hope someone will one day advocate well for you, this is a conversation worth starting now. If this episode resonates, follow the show and share it with someone who needs to hear it before life forces their hand. Episode Highlights: Shannon shares her background in Health Administration with a concentration in senior housing and her experience working across multiple states in assisted living, memory care, and sitter agencies. (03:04) Shannon explains how care needs can change overnight with an example of a healthy client whose wife fell after a medication change. (07:50) Shannon discusses the differences between sitter agencies and private independent sitters, recommending getting names ahead of time through church or friends. (13:30) Shannon describes dementia as a journey and explains factors that determine whether someone should stay home or move to memory care. (18:42) Shannon explains independent living retirement communities, including buy-in fees and how residents can lock in monthly rates as their needs increase. (22:01) Shannon defines activities of daily living (ADLs) including bathing, dressing, hygiene, feeding, and transfers. (26:36) Xavier discusses the importance of aligning care needs with financial ability and how crisis-based decisions become the most expensive. (32:42) Shannon discusses how clients discover VA benefits they had no idea they had access to, making senior living possible. (37:22) Shannon shares her main takeaway that there are options available for aging parents, including resources not widely known to the public. (42:48) Key Quotes: “Every family is unique in what they're experiencing and what their needs are, and they do need accompaniment through that to figure out what is available for them specifically.” - Shannon Mehaffey Ory “A lot of people forget what their long-term care insurance policies included, and adult children have no idea their parents have this, and finding that out means a whole world is possible to them that the children didn't know was possible.” - Shannon Mehaffey Ory “The benefit of independent living is you don't have any maintenance. You probably can pay an extra fee for housekeeping. You have a ton of social opportunities, lovely dining. People go on trips together in independent living communities all the time.” - Shannon Mehaffey Ory Resources Mentioned: Shannon Mehaffey Ory Avila Senior Advisors Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

In this episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, Erik Garcia is joined by Miles Clark, Senior Analyst at Nasdaq Dorsey Wright, to explore a simple but important question: what's better—time in the market or timing the market? The conversation opens with a long-term look at how markets have behaved over multi-decade periods and what that data can teach investors when they're deciding what to do with new money, especially when markets are sitting at or near all-time highs. From there, Erik and Miles walk through three common investor approaches: investing a lump sum right away, waiting for a pullback, or easing in over time. They discuss which experiences tend to lead to better long-term outcomes and why those results often surprise people. The conversation also touches on momentum, relative strength, and market breadth, including what it means when market leadership becomes narrow and valuations stretch. The episode wraps up with Miles' thoughts on what matters most heading into 2026, what investors tend to worry about too much, and what deserves more attention moving forward. If you found this episode helpful, follow the show and share it with someone who's still waiting for the “right” time to invest. Episode Highlights: Miles discusses a study showing "Average Joe," who invests $500 monthly regardless of market conditions, outperforms market timers by about $1 million. (07:25) Miles breaks down market breadth through a football analogy: it tells investors whether the market is on offense or defense. (13:20) Miles mentions that in core-dominated markets, the real risk isn't beating the benchmark but simply keeping up with it. (18:55) Miles discusses how Dorsey Wright applies relative strength to identify which assets to hold, focusing on sustained trends rather than short-term news. (22:45) Miles explains how momentum investing rotated out of tech in 2022 into energy and utilities, then back into tech for 2023-2024. (29:30) Erik emphasizes that risk capacity matters more than risk tolerance, which is often driven by emotions about current market conditions. (36:25) Key Quotes: "We don't necessarily have to focus on protecting against the entire market washout. We really just need to protect ourselves against where we're over-concentrated in our portfolios." - Miles Clark "In core-dominated markets, a lot of the risk is actually just not keeping up with the benchmark because it is so strong." - Miles Clark "Finding and earning positive relative strength is just trying to pick those assets that are doing relatively better towards the up or downside than their benchmark." - Miles Clark Resources Mentioned: Miles Clark Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

As healthcare providers, we're constantly evaluated at work, but rarely taught how to step back and evaluate our own lives. In this episode, I walk you through your Wellness & Wealth Annual Review, which is a reflective, intentional process to help you take stock of your finances, energy, health, time, and overall alignment after another year. This is not about budgets, hustle, or setting rigid resolutions. It's about awareness, compassion, and creating margin so burnout doesn't quietly follow you into another year. To help you follow along (or do this review later), I've created a Wellness & Wealth Annual Review worksheet, a resource designed to make this process simple and actionable. I recommend setting aside 15 to 30 minutes with the worksheet, your favorite cozy beverage, and a quiet space. You don't need perfection- just honesty and curiosity.

✨ Do you feel financially stuck? Now is the time to clean up your financial past… while living in the present… and preparing for an abundant, joy-filled future. ✨Here's to healing the past, enjoying the now, and building a beautiful tomorrow.

Whether you were born rich, poor, or somewhere in between, money has always been an integral part of your life. However, too many people have fears and other unhealthy emotions around money. These debilitating beliefs are often subconscious, shaped by a lifetime of early experiences seen through other people—not based on objective reality. So can you break free from these restrictive beliefs and emotions, be able to “dream big,”—and actually accomplish your hopes and dreams? The answer is yes: Now, there is a way to harness the powerful energy around money and build real wealth.Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, LLC has no affiliation with LPL Financial, Sequoia Wealth Management, or JMC Wealth Management, Inc.

In this solo episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC, steps behind the mic to wrestle with a tough truth: planning isn't optional, not if you want control over your future. Fresh off his conversation with Giovanni Arenas about Gio's life-threatening condition and remarkable double lung transplant, Xavier gets another call that hits just as hard. A dear friend's cancer has returned, and with it comes the realization that he never put proper business succession plans in place. It is a moment that reveals not just financial vulnerability but emotional fallout, the kind that compounds heartbreak when families are already hurting. Xavier digs deeper into why waiting to plan is one of the costliest decisions a business owner can make. He lays out how proactive planning protects the people you care about most and why delaying those decisions hands your future over to circumstances instead of intention. This episode is an honest call to action: don't wait until life forces your hand. If the message resonates, share the episode with someone who needs the nudge, and make sure you're following the show for more conversations that help you take control before life does it for you. Episode Highlights: Procrastination is a bill that silently compounds, delaying tasks makes them harder to complete, and weighs you down. (01:00) Time is the most valuable asset when building wealth. Every year of waiting meant losing opportunity, not just time. (01:30) Xavier references his previous episode with Giovanni Arenas about his double lung transplant and how quickly life can change. (02:30) Xavier shares a personal story: A close friend's rapidly progressing cancer forced immediate business and family decisions no one was prepared for. (04:10) Xavier outlines action steps: Create a will, establish an estate plan (not just for the wealthy), and build a business continuation plan. (07:10) Planning documents are acts of love and gifts of clarity that ensure your intentions, not others' emotions, guide what happens next. (07:50) Key Quotes: “Procrastination doesn't just slow you down. It widens the gap between where we are today and where we want to be.” - Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC “Planning isn't when life is perfect. Planning isn't when life happens, planning now it matters.” - Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC “ Take that first step today, no matter how small. Start planning today.

In this solo episode of the Stuff About Money podcast, host Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ sits down for a candid one-on-one about goals. Not the shiny, New-Year's-resolution kind, but the messy, honest kind we whisper to ourselves when no one's listening. Erik shares two personal moments that reshaped how he thinks about goal setting, including the year Dr. Matt Morris bluntly told him, “You just made a bad goal,” and the overly ambitious golf objective that nearly convinced him to quit the game altogether. These stories spark a bigger conversation about why we so often overestimate what we can accomplish in the short term and underestimate what we're capable of over the long haul. In the second half of the episode, Erik unpacks a healthier, more realistic framework for pursuing goals — especially financial ones. Instead of obsessing over hitting a number by a certain date, he encourages listeners to think of goals as direction and objectives as the checkpoints that keep them moving forward. Erik explores why grace, awareness, and better-designed goals lead to more progress and less burnout. If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs a fresh perspective on goal setting, and make sure you're following the show for more conversations that help you move toward a wiser, more intentional financial life. Episode Highlights: Erik discusses why traditional goal-setting frameworks and New Year's resolutions aren't the focus, emphasizing the frustration goals often create. (01:10) Erik shares the moment Dr. Matt Morris looked at him and said he had simply made a bad goal, reframing how he viewed falling short. (02:30) A reminder surfaces about how people consistently overestimate short-term capacity and underestimate long-term potential. (04:00) Erik explains why he now treats goals as directions rather than destinations, using the New York-to-England swimming analogy. (05:30) Erik shares how an overly ambitious summer golf goal led to frustration and helped him rethink the difference between goals and objectives. (07:00) Financial goal setting follows the same pattern, as unrealistic expectations often lead to shame, frustration, or giving up entirely. (09:10) Two core takeaways: create better directional goals and recognize the bias of misjudging short- and long-term potential. (10:40) Why having someone walk alongside you, such as a financial planner, helps maintain direction and adjust objectives over time. (11:40) Erik encourages listeners to share the episode and continue reframing their approach to goal setting. (13:40) Key Quotes: “ I've stopped treating goals like a destination, like something I have to reach. Instead, I think of them like a direction.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ “  You're not failing your goals, your goals just might need a reframe. Fix the direction, adjust the objectives, and trust the long-term journey.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ “ Set better goals, not bigger ones, not more detailed ones. Better ones. Goals that orient you long-term, meaningful directional goals, and then backfill that with objectives that guide your ” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ Resources Mentioned: Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors
