The “Clean Slate” That Changes Your Decisions Every January, Bruce and I have this running joke: as a society, we collectively decide that January 1 magically flips a switch—life will be calmer, more organized, more intentional. Bruce thinks it's strange. (He's not wrong.)I love it. I love a clean slate. A fresh start. A targeted window that says, “This is the beginning.” https://www.youtube.com/live/_cgm7sJ6SDc And here's why that matters for your money: when you feel like you have a beginning, you're more willing to think differently. You stop drifting on autopilot and start asking better questions—especially the one Bruce kept coming back to in our conversation: Why do you do what you do financially? That one question is the doorway to confidence. Not “confidence that you'll always be right,” but confidence that you're making the best decision with the information you have—while staying flexible enough to adjust when new information shows up. That's the heart of this post: the financial strategy for families in 2026 isn't a single product or prediction. It's a way of thinking—a framework—that helps you build control, cash flow, and peace of mind in uncertain markets.

What You'll Gain from This Financial Strategy for Families in 2026 If you've felt the financial landscape shifting—tax uncertainty, persistent inflation, volatile markets, conflicting advice, AI disruption, crypto hype, growing debt, and nonstop headlines—you're not imagining it. The pace of change is faster. But here's the good news: you don't need a crystal ball to win financially in 2026. You need a system grounded in principles that hold up in any environment. In this article, we'll walk you through a financial framework for uncertain markets that's built on: control of capital cash flow planning liquidity strategy (liquidity buffer) optionality (having choices even when the “rules” change) decision-making confidence under uncertainty multi-generational planning that prepares your family for the future you can't predict And we'll also show you why the typical accumulation-based model leaves many families exposed—especially when volatility and sequence of returns risk collide. Financial strategy for families starts with one skill: thinking about your thinking Bruce said something that I think every family needs right now: Think about your thinking. Most people don't actually have a money strategy. They have inherited assumptions. They're doing what coworkers do. What parents did. What the internet said. What the “guru” recommended. What the algorithm fed them. In 2026, the families who thrive won't be the best guessers. They'll be the best designers. And the first step in design is awareness: Why am I saving this way? Why am I investing this way? Why am I in debt? Why does this feel “safe” to me? What am I assuming about the next 10–20 years? This isn't about obsessing. It's about choosing on purpose—so you can move forward with confidence, not second-guessing. What fundamentally changed—and why “uncertain markets” feel louder than ever When we talked about what's changed heading into 2026, Bruce laid out the big forces that are shaping the environment families are making decisions inside of: 1) Information moves instantly—and it affects how you use your money The world feels smaller because it is smaller. A person in the Caribbean can follow the same investing narrative as someone in Texas. Advice travels fast. That can be helpful. It can also be harmful—because it creates noise, urgency, and “trend pressure.” If you're constantly being told the newest move, the newest hack, the newest asset class… your financial decisions can become reactive instead of strategic. 2) The 24-hour news cycle magnifies fear—and shrinks your time horizon Here's a hard truth: fear makes people short-term. When headlines feel nonstop, people assume they need to do something right now. But families build wealth through disciplined, long-range thinking—especially when markets are volatile. 3) AI disruption adds both opportunity and anxiety AI is not the first major innovation wave (we've seen this with cars, the internet, tech booms). But it's moving faster. Some companies will soar. Some will crash. Some industries will be disrupted. New industries will emerge. That uncertainty pushes people toward emotional decision-making. 4) Cryptocurrency continues to create both opportunity and harm Crypto is still sorting itself out. Some parts thrive, others die. Governments are still deciding how they'll regulate and respond. That uncertainty can create both speculation and fear—and those are not the foundations of a stable family wealth plan. 5) Debt levels are enormous—and debt quietly reduces control of capital Debt is more than a number. It changes who controls your future cash flow. Bruce said it plainly: when you're in debt, you're not controlling capital—capital is flowing away from you. And when you combine high debt with volatility, it can create pressure-cooker decision-making. Why the typical accumulation model fails families in uncertain markets Most modern financial planning is built on a familiar script: Work and accumulate assets Grow net worth Retire Live on portfolio growth without touching principal That model depends on one assumption: that your assets will grow smoothly enough, at the right time, to support your lifestyle. But in uncertain markets, families don't just face market risk. They face timing risk. Sequence of returns risk: why averages don't protect your retirement Bruce explained this in a way that cuts through the noise: averages don't matter if timing is wrong. Two portfolios can have the same “average return” over 20 years—but if one experiences losses early (when you're withdrawing income), the outcome can be dramatically worse. That's why “the market averages 10%” is not a strategy. It's a soundbite. A real strategy considers: when you need income how much liquidity you have what happens if markets drop early whether your plan depends on selling assets in a down year If your plan requires everything to go “mostly right” in the early years of retirement, you don't have a plan—you have a hope. Financial strategy for families in uncertain markets: control of capital is the core principle When we stripped the conversation down to the essentials, we kept coming back to one word: Control. Control doesn't mean you can control the market. It means you can control your position. And your position is what determines your options. When you control capital, you have money you can access and direct: for emergencies for opportunity for strategic investing for business pivots for family needs for tax planning decisions for downturns without panic This is why we talk so much about control of capital. It's not a buzzword. It's a survival advantage—and a growth advantage. Cash flow planning and the liquidity strategy every family needs in 2026 and beyond Let's make this practical. When volatility increases, you need a plan that doesn't force you to liquidate investments at the wrong time. That requires a liquidity buffer. How to build liquidity for market volatility Liquidity isn't just “cash in a checking account.” Liquidity is access. It's the ability to move without penalties, delays, or begging for approval. A strong liquidity strategy (liquidity buffer) does two things: It keeps you stable in crisis It keeps you ready in opportunity Bruce said it perfectly: opportunities find cash. And here's the funny thing—when you have liquidity, you start noticing opportunities you would've missed before. We talked about the “Beetle effect” (your brain notices what it's primed to notice). When you have capital available, your radar changes. You see deals, investments, partnerships,

Matt Faircloth interviews Brian Burke, reflecting on the prolonged multifamily downturn and why 2025 failed to deliver the recovery many investors expected. Brian explains how elevated construction deliveries, negative rent growth, and mispriced cap rates have kept deal fundamentals from penciling, especially for assets acquired with high leverage. The conversation dives deep into the dangers of bridge debt, emphasizing that loan maturity risk, not floating interest rates, is what ultimately puts lenders in control. Brian also shares why he has shifted capital into assisted living, citing demographic tailwinds, improving fundamentals, and a supply-demand imbalance that contrasts sharply with multifamily.

Commercial real estate veteran Ben Reinberg shares how he uses hard assets and smart debt to strengthen his investing portfolio. He shares his journey from starting in his early 20s to building a national hard-asset portfolio across industrial, office, retail, multifamily, and medical real estate. We talk the importance of the "ability to hold" assets through cycles by avoiding over-leverage, maintaining reserves, and structuring smart debt. Ben outlines where commercial real estate sits in the current cycle, highlighting looming debt maturities, distressed opportunities, and the potential for attractive buying conditions over the next few years. We discuss... Ben Reinberg explains how he built wealth starting in his early 20s by focusing on hard assets, particularly commercial real estate, as a long-term strategy for cash flow and financial control. He emphasizes the importance of becoming a true expert in a specific asset class rather than spreading focus too broadly. He shares lessons from his first industrial deal, including managing tenant loss, repositioning assets, and creating value through active ownership. A central theme was the "ability to hold," meaning structuring investments to survive any market cycle without being forced to sell. He stressed using smart debt, avoiding over-leverage (generally keeping loan-to-value around 65%), and maintaining ample reserves. The discussion highlighted why medical office real estate is recession- and pandemic-resilient, with high tenant renewal rates and stable cash flow. Reinberg explained how inflation, tariffs, and rising costs affect tenants and property operations across different real estate sectors. The episode explored how real estate acts as an inflation hedge through rent growth, escalators, and long-term asset appreciation. They discussed the current commercial real estate downturn, driven by higher rates, falling values, and large amounts of debt coming due. Reinberg argued that the next few years may present some of the best commercial real estate buying opportunities in decades. He warned investors to be cautious, underwrite deals conservatively, and focus on tenant quality and market fundamentals. We have an optimistic outlook for 2026–2028, expecting lower rates, increased liquidity, more transactions, and improving economic stability.

Debt can either accelerate your growth or quietly destroy everything you've built. In this episode, I'm joined by longtime friend of the show Bill D'Alessandro to break down Commandment #4 of the Financial Mastery series: borrow wisely. As someone who's been historically debt-averse, I wanted Bill (who is far more comfortable with leverage) to help unpack the realities, risks, and opportunities founders face when navigating debt in eCommerce. Listen in as we walk through the eight most common and dangerous mistakes entrepreneurs make - from misunderstanding merchant cash advances to signing personal guarantees without fully understanding the consequences. We also talk about how to protect yourself, when debt actually is the right move, and why founders often borrow for the wrong reasons. If you've ever considered taking on debt or are currently managing it, this episode will help you approach borrowing with clarity, intention, and respect for the risks involved.

How to Finance Your First Hunting Property: Expert Land Lending Secrets | 100% Wild Ep. 460 Welcome to the premiere of our new special series, Cultivating Value, powered by Buckland Funding!

Based on decades of research from the Consumer Bankruptcy Project, the nation's most comprehensive study of bankruptcy filers, Debt's Grip goes beyond aggregate data to document the lived experience of financial distress. The book shows how illness, job loss, aging, family structure, debt collection, and racial inequality converge to push households toward bankruptcy and what that reveals about how financial risk is allocated in the U.S. economy. Rather than treating bankruptcy as a personal failure, the authors demonstrate how policy choices over time shifted economic risk from institutions to individuals, leaving many households one unexpected expense away from crisis. Those risks fall unevenly, with Black families, single mothers, and older Americans disproportionately affected. The Authors Pamela Foohey, Allen Post Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law, is a principal investigator with the Consumer Bankruptcy Project and a leading scholar on bankruptcy and financial distress. Robert M. Lawless, Max L. Rowe Professor of Law, University of Illinois College of Law, is a nationally recognized empirical scholar of bankruptcy and consumer finance and a principal investigator of the Consumer Bankruptcy Project. Deborah Thorne, Professor of Sociology at the University of Idaho, brings a critical sociological lens, foregrounding the voices and experiences of bankruptcy filers. She also is a principal investigator of the Consumer Bankruptcy Project. Podcast Highlights In the episode, we discuss: ·        Why people actually file for bankruptcy ·        The debts most likely to lead to financial collapse ·        How households struggle to stay afloat before filing ·        The role of debt collection and litigation ·        How people come to see bankruptcy as a solution ·        Policy reforms that could reduce reliance on credit during hardship Key Takeaways ·        Bankruptcy is rarely about irresponsibility. It is often the endpoint of systemic risk-shifting. ·        Financial distress is structurally unequal. Race, age, gender, and health matter. ·        Filers exhaust alternatives before filing. Bankruptcy reflects resilience under pressure, not moral hazard. ·        Policy choices matter. Stronger safety nets and a more humane bankruptcy system can reduce financial harm. Conclusion Debt's Grip offers a rigorous, data-driven, and deeply human account of consumer bankruptcy in America. It challenges entrenched myths and provides valuable insight for policymakers, regulators, and industry participants alike. We thank Professors Foohey, Lawless, and Thorne for joining the podcast and for their important contribution to the field. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

Do you work with family? How does relationship-based networking impact your life? Your company?  Your bottom line? What are some of the biggest misconceptions about networking? In this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk to Spencer Reynolds and his son Kamryn Reynolds, Co-Executive Directors of BNI Tampa. Originally from Northern Utah, Spencer and his family packed up and  moved to Florida in 2017, trading mountains for sunshine and lakes. With  his wife, Tricia, running the show (let's be honest, she's the boss) and their  four incredible kids—three adventurous adult sons and their adopted  princess, almost 16—they're all about outdoor thrills, especially water sports  and international adventure travel. And when we say "thrills," we mean it!  Spencer's an adrenaline junkie—skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking,  and even trekking to Everest Base Camp with his brothers. If it involves  speed, heights, or a near-death experience, he's probably done it… twice.   (Ask about their Grand Canyon White Water Rafting trip from last year,  wild!)  Before becoming the networking master he is today, Spencer spent 12  years as a mortgage broker before making the leap into professional  speaking and training in 2005. He's taken the stage in every major city  across the U.S. and Canada, teaching professionals how to build systems,  work By Referral Only, and grow businesses the right way with referrals.  Through BNI, he's expanded his reach globally, inspiring thousands of  entrepreneurs to unlock the power of relationships. Kamryn Reynolds is a communication coach, keynote speaker, and the youngest Executive Director in BNI history. He's the founder of Articulate Advantage, helping professionals speak with power, clarity, and confidence. A USF grad, Eagle Scout, and fluent Spanish speaker after serving a two-year mission in Argentina.  Kamryn now specializes in keynotes and trainings for high-end hotels and resorts. Known for his high energy and practical frameworks, he's on a mission to become an Ironman, a TEDx speaker, and an international voice for intentional communication. He lives by one core belief: connection is the currency of opportunity.  Spencer, Kamryn, George & Shawn talk about: What surprises them the most about working together. Early money lessons.

Drawing from real-world experience, past recessions, and opportunity cost, we explain how this step can trap cash, increase vulnerability, limit future options, and sabotage your wealth, even for disciplined savers who “did everything right.” Buy Your Tickets to the Life Insurance Summit!

Money and marriage—two things God designed to bless us, but they can also be two of the greatest sources of stress. What if we turned financial conflict into connection? Dr. Shane Enete joins us today to share six creative ways couples can build stronger relationships by having intentional financial conversations—what he calls “money dates.”Dr. Shane Enete is an Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University and founded the Biola Center for Financial Planning. He is also the author of the book Whole Heart Finances: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Managing Your Money with Joy.Why You Need to Talk About Money—IntentionallyMany couples avoid conversations about money out of fear. A study of 2,000 couples found that half of them were uncomfortable discussing money because they worried it would lead to conflict. The irony is that by avoiding those talks, the conflict only deepens.On average, couples argue about money 58 times a year. But what if, instead of waiting for issues to flare up, you set aside regular time to talk about your finances together—proactively and prayerfully?That's the heart behind the idea of money dates. You might have to rip off the bandage at first, but we want to help couples make these conversations not just necessary—but enjoyable.Turning Financial Talks Into DatesThese aren't meant for finger-pointing but for course correction—a time to realign your financial goals with your values.But also, why not make it a date? Dating can be a lot of fun if you're intentional. So why not combine something enjoyable with something that's often uncomfortable? When you connect in a fun environment, even money talk becomes more meaningful.The key is consistency. Whether it's over dinner, coffee, or a quiet walk, having a regular rhythm of financial connection helps you stay on the same page as a couple—and deepens your trust.Money Date #1: Share Your Money StoryEvery person brings a financial backstory into marriage—habits, fears, and attitudes shaped by family and early experiences.Think of it as your money autobiography. Reflect on what you learned about money growing up, what messages you received from your parents, and how those experiences influence your decisions today.Take your spouse out for dinner and share those stories. You'll gain empathy and understanding for each other's perspectives. When you know your partner's money story, their spending or saving habits make a lot more sense.Try this: Ask each other, “What's your earliest memory of money?” The answers may surprise you—and bring you closer.Money Date #2: Give TogetherGenerosity is one of the most unifying acts a couple can experience. Here are a few ways to make generosity a shared journey:Set a giving goal. Track your family's progress and celebrate milestones together.Join a giving circle. Partner with friends or your small group to pool resources for a cause you all care about.Create a stretch goal. As your income grows, commit to increasing your giving percentage over time.These conversations shift the focus from money as a source of stress to money as a means of Kingdom impact.Money Date #3: Cook the BooksThis one's both literal and figurative! Instead of going out, stay home and cook a meal together—or grab takeout for a picnic. Use the relaxed environment to talk about your budget rhythm:Who tracks expenses?What budgeting tools or apps will you use?How often will you review spending?The FaithFi app can help simplify this process. It lets couples track giving, spending, and saving all in one place—while keeping biblical wisdom at the center.Money Date #4: Check Your Credit (at the Spa!)Debt can carry emotional weight, so create a peaceful setting for this conversation. A spa day is perfect. It's relaxing—and you can often find affordable day passes.While you unwind, discuss:How much debt do you currently carry?How did your family handle debt growing up?What boundaries would you like to establish regarding credit use?This isn't about blame. It's about caring for each other and agreeing on a plan that both of you believe in.Money Date #5: Number Your DaysThis one takes its inspiration from Psalm 90:12: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”Couples should view estate planning as an act of love and care. When you prepare a will, name a guardian, or establish a power of attorney, you're doing something deeply selfless—caring for others even after you're gone.Spend a date identifying:Who will serve as executor or guardian for your children?How do you want your assets used to bless others?What legacy of faith and generosity do you want to leave behind?Growing Together Through Financial StewardshipMoney dates are about far more than numbers. They're about connection, empathy, and shared purpose. When couples talk about money in ways that honor God and each other, they grow in wisdom—and unity.When you come together around money with openness and grace, you draw closer not just to each other, but to the heart of God.———————————————————————————————————————Dr. Enete's full article, “Six Great Money Dates,” appears in the 2nd issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

Can We Say Anything Meaningful About a Venezuelan Debt Restructuring? Venezuela must restructure its debt if it, and its new "friends" in Washington DC, want the economy humming again. But how? The debt stock is enormous and the range of claims so vast that normal techniques are unlikely to work. And typically, before anything could happen, the IMF would need to go in and assess the actual situation on the ground. All this takes time. But we imagine that the folks in Washington DC want to declare their adventure a success, and soon. Is that impulse consistent with an orderly, comprehensive debt restructuring? For that matter, what would a restructuring look like if we also assume that Washington wants to line its own pockets with Venezuelan oil revenues, and perhaps to give preferential treatment to oil major creditors (to entice them back into Venezuela)? We don't have answers — but we suspect that those folks in DC don't either. Producer: Leanna Doty

Tommy Mello didn't start with capital, connections, or a safety net. He started buried in debt, staring down failure, and being told he was just months away from going out of business. In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Tommy breaks down the raw, unfiltered journey from massive financial pressure to building a billion-dollar home services company. This is not a highlight reel — it's the real story of risk, fear, hard decisions, and the mindset shifts required to scale when everything is on the line. In this episode, you'll learn: Why being “almost broke” forced Tommy to become a better operator. The moment he realized his business could scale far beyond survival. How debt, pressure, and constraint sharpen decision-making. Why systems, leadership, and trust matter more than hustle. The turning points that took him from struggling owner to industry leader. What most entrepreneurs misunderstand about scaling to nine figures and beyond. If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, or operator trying to break through the next ceiling — whether that's your first million or your next hundred million — this episode delivers hard-earned lessons you won't hear anywhere else. From leadership and systems to risk tolerance and long-term vision, Tommy Mello shares exactly what it takes to build something that lasts. Watch the full episode to understand how massive pressure can become the foundation for massive scale.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Lisa Mulrain. Summary of the Interview On Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Lisa Mulrain—CEO of Legacy Building LLC, a financial literacy and legal services entrepreneur with more than 30 years of federal government experience as a securities attorney. Lisa’s mission is to empower individuals and small businesses through financial education, credit repair, debt management, estate planning, and investment strategy. The interview highlights her transition from government attorney to entrepreneur, the purpose behind Legacy Building LLC, and the unique combination of her legal expertise and financial coaching. She breaks down how underserved communities can close knowledge gaps, develop stronger money mindsets, repair credit, invest wisely, and protect assets through estate planning. She also explains the emerging opportunities in tokenized real estate, fractionalized Ginnie Mae securities, and the importance of research before investing. The conversation is highly practical—covering everything from budgeting to Roth IRAs, 401(k) matches, brokerage accounts, credit consolidation, and asset protection through trusts and wills. Lisa stresses empowerment through education and long-term wealth building. Purpose of the Interview 1.

Estate planning is essential for everyone—not just older adults A proper estate plan includes: A trust (primary document) A “pour-over” will for missed assets Healthcare proxies & POAs Instructions for managing assets during incapacity or after death Common tragedies—Prince, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson—show how lack of planning complicates estates. 4. Invest intentionally and consistently Key investment tools Lisa recommends: Maximize 401(k) contributions, especially employer matches Favor S&P 500 index options in retirement plans Fund a Roth IRA for tax-free growth Open brokerage accounts with established firms (e.g., Schwab, Fidelity) Buy fractional shares to invest even with small amounts Focus on time in the market, not timing the market 5. Tokenized real estate and fractionalized Ginnie Mae securities are groundbreaking Lisa explains how changes in federal policy and crypto infrastructure enable new low-barrier investment opportunities—such as Ginnie Mae-backed fractional securities for as little as $50. 6. Research, research, research Before buying any stock, investors should monitor: Long-term trends Earnings calls Layoffs (strategy vs. crisis) Market cycles Influential investors’ moves 7.
