Struggling to get your spouse involved in retirement planning?You are not alone. Many financially-minded partners lose their spouse's attention by jumping straight into 401(k) allocations or tax strategies. The result is glazed eyes and little engagement.This approach works differently. Start with powerful, open-ended questions that spark curiosity and connection. Ask things like “What does your perfect retirement day look like?” or “If we had to spend $150,000 this year, how would you want to use it?” These prompts bypass resistance and lead to meaningful conversations about dreams, priorities, and lifestyle.When you know whether your partner envisions constant travel or staying close to home, or whether they fear losing purpose more than running out of money, you can build a plan you both believe in. Lifestyle clarity comes first. The numbers follow naturally.Retirement planning is not just about financial optimization. It is about creating a shared vision for the years ahead with the person who matters most. Try these questions with your partner and watch the conversation shift from spreadsheets to shared dreams.Visit earlyretirementpodcast.com to share your results or explore tools for building a plan that works for both of you.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

“It's not about the ability to retire but also how we utilise the time while we are on this planet. In the last three years, I was travelling with just one backpack. Every item I buy has to fit in that backpack. If I buy something new, it means that I have to give up something else.”We are back with part two of our Providend Conversation with Jeshua, a 28-year-old who travelled during the COVID-19 pandemic to over 50 countries, navigating through the uncertainty of vaccinations, all while working remotely and keeping costs low.In this episode, Jeshua opened up about his reasons for choosing to study at a polytechnic versus the junior college and university route and why he considered it a ‘shortcut' in his filmmaking and creative journey.Jeshua believes that education is really about learning, and for him, it's less about being in a ‘branded' education institution and having a certificate. He also shared how his parents reacted to the choices he made: “It wasn't like I was going to drop out of school to do drugs or join a gang.” In fact, he considers himself to have graduated from the “university of life”.His thoughts on ‘fitting everything into one backpack' is truly a wonderful depiction of life and something for us to think about – what really matters to us and what we should or should not carry in our own ‘backpack' in life and how to live the most meaningful life that we possibly can.It has been a joy having Jeshua with us, and we hope you find his story as inspiring as we did.Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 4 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

“Some of the guesthouses are closed due to the pandemic, so I had to pitch a tent along the road to stay a night.”In this three-part episode, we are joined by Jeshua, a 28-year-old who travelled during the COVID-19 pandemic to over 50 countries, in a span of three years!He navigated through the uncertainty of vaccinations and avoided quarantines & visa applications, all while he was working remotely and keeping costs low – with a total estimated spent of just US$3000.Jeshua has always been a proponent of working remotely, and this travel-experience was simply an extension of his belief. In fact, he found it ‘abnormal' to do what everyone else was doing. He shared: “The worse lesson we can pick up is that everything in life progresses in a sequence.”Through his travels, he discovered that there are more ways to define success than by being rich, such as generosity and happiness. It is important how we view others in the community and look out for one another. “If we become so developed and neglect those around us, we have lost the plot!” This is indeed a good reminder on what living a meaningful life is all about – the people around us.It has been a joy having Jeshua with us and we hope you find his story as inspiring as we did. Part 2 and Part 3 oof this interview will be published soon. So do keep a look out for it!Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 4 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

For Han Kiat and Maurice, choosing to serve in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) beyond the mandatory ten years was not just a commitment, it became their ikigai, a purpose they held closely for much of their early adult lives. Now as fathers, they reflect on their shared experiences, even as their sons serve in different vocations during their National Service. Does a different path diminish the value of their own ikigai? And how did they bridge the gap between those differences with their sons?They reflected on how simple, ordinary moments, and being there for one another over the years, can become something deeply meaningful and also part of their ikigai.You may find Han Kiat's full letter mentioned in the podcast here: https://providend.com/finding-ikigai-saf-fatherhood/Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially—with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 4 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

Financial Wellness & Family Impact: How money stress contributes to marital strain and higher-than-average divorce rates among first responders, and practical tips for healthy budgeting. Budgeting & Debt: Brian dives into why a budget is your top wealth-building tool, the debt snowball method, and how to break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle common in 80% of U.S. households. Retirement & Pensions: Explanation of first responder pension systems, their limits, and what planning for retirement really looks like—especially for those entering the field later in life. Teaching & Resources: Details about the financial education classes Brian and his team provide to academies and departments, plus online resources like their “Legacy Go Bag” for organizing wills and vital documents. Success Stories & Impact: Brian shares small but important victories—helping first responders pay off debt, retire with confidence, and break destructive financial cycles for good.

Welcome to the fourth episode of our miniseries on Finding Your Ikigai, where we invite a series of guests to explore what it truly means to live a good life, incorporating the concept of Ikigai alongside Providend's Philosophy of Sufficiency.As trusted advisers to affluent clients for over two decades, we've always advocated that clients prioritise life decisions before financial ones. These life decisions are what we refer to as “Ikigai” decisions.In this episode, our Founder and CEO, Christopher Tan, has a chat with Choon Jin, an accountant by training whose career has spanned corporate mergers and acquisitions, insurance leadership, and regional consulting, before making the leap into entrepreneurship and reflecting on the role of balancing different 'Ikigais' in his life.Choon Jin talks about how he began questioning what he truly wakes up for, leading to a career switch that better aligned with his values. He also shares that a turning point came when he had a heart attack while overseas, forcing him to confront not just his Ikigai at work, but also the need to prioritise another: his family.Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially—with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 4 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

On this episode of the Inner Edison podcast, host Ed Parcaut chats with Eric Brotman, a seasoned financial advisor and entrepreneur, about his unconventional journey into the world of finance and the lessons learned along the way. Eric shares how a failed plan to become a lawyer led him by accident into finance, his entrepreneurial leap after starting over from scratch at age 30, and how adversity—like the 2008 recession—shaped his business and personal growth. Ed and Eric dive deep into the realities of entrepreneurship: the risks, the need for resilience, and the lessons that come from setbacks. Eric shares actionable insights on building financial independence, including practical strategies for tax diversification, the use of whole life insurance, and the importance of financial literacy for business owners and families alike. They also discuss Eric's philosophy behind his book, “Don't Retire… Graduate,” which challenges the conventional notion of retirement and encourages listeners to plan for a financially free and fulfilling next chapter. Along the way, the conversation covers mistakes, management missteps, innovations during the pandemic, and the value of aligning company culture for long-term success. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, this episode is packed with candid stories, practical advice, and a refreshing perspective on success, failure, and building a life (and business) you love.

Today, we're sitting down with Doug Lynam - Marine, monk, money coach, and author of Taming Your Money Monster. Doug doesn't just help people build better budgets. He helps them untangle the deep wounds, attachment patterns, and spiritual beliefs that shape how we handle money. We talk about money not as a neutral tool, but as something we carry stories about - stories that often go back to childhood, shaped by shame, fear, or control. Doug shares how the Enneagram and attachment theory can help us make sense of our financial habits and, more importantly, heal them. He offers a vision of financial health that's rooted in authenticity, generosity, and service to a broken world. If you've ever felt anxious around money, avoided looking at your bank account, or struggled to align your finances with your deepest values join us. Doug Lynam graduated at the top of his class from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in 1995, then turned down his commission to become a Benedictine monk. During his 20-year monastic journey, he headed the mathematics department at a prestigious private school while helping his community recover from bankruptcy. After leaving the monastery in 2017, he joined LongView Asset Management in Santa Fe, New Mexico—a sustainability-focused B Corp—where he helped manage over a quarter-billion in assets.

What do control, perfectionism, and money have in common? For many of us, they're deeply rooted in childhood wounds, and they're the very blocks standing between us and our manifestations.In this heartfelt Q&A episode, Lacy and Jessica respond to powerful community questions that crack open the real energetics behind love, money, motherhood, and glass ceilings. Whether you're navigating burnout, trying to call in more income, or craving peace while juggling life's many demands, this conversation offers guidance, tools, and expansion to help you move forward. You'll hear personal revelations from Lacy and Jessica about their own inner child programming around control; how it shows up in work, relationships, and even wedding planning. And they offer expansive, grounded advice to two listeners: one manifesting full-time motherhood and another trying to break through a financial glass ceiling while living paycheck to paycheck.This episode is for anyone working through the TBM Money Challenge, or anyone asking: “Why do I still feel stuck?” Because often, the block isn't what you think—it's what you've normalized. So tune in for deep permission to slow down, reassess, and come back into alignment with what's truly authentic for you. The abundance you're calling in might just require a little less effort—and a little more letting go.

What if your financial story was something you felt empowered and excited by?In this episode, Jessica sits down with Britt Baker, seasoned investor and co-founder of Dow Janes. Britt has a background in consulting and a degree from Harvard Business School, however, it wasn't until years later, when she saw many of her close friends struggling with their own finances that she realized how many women lacked the financial literacy to build wealth.In this conversation, Britt breaks down the exact steps she teaches to get out of debt, build an emergency fund, invest with confidence (even if you've never done it before), and move from financial fear into financial freedom. – basically, everything you wish you learned in school. This is more than a conversation about saving and investing—it's a holistic look at how healing your relationship with money unlocks manifestation. If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, afraid to look at your bank account, or convinced investing “just isn't for you,” this episode is for you.
