In this month's Smart Planning segment, a financial advisor discusses when it might make sense to scale back your 401(k) contributions. Is it safe to invest right now? Should you keep contributing to your retirement account when the economy feels uncertain? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss how to navigate turbulent financial times by focusing on long-term investing strategies and what you can control. They break down what's going on with recent stock market activity, why the dollar is weakening, and how investors can stay the course by understanding their risk tolerance and using tools like dollar-cost averaging. They also touch on emotional investing and offer practical ways to handle market anxiety without pulling back on your financial goals. Then, Elizabeth welcomes Ross Anderson, founder of Craftwork Capital and co-host of the Check Your Balances podcast, to answer a listener's question about whether to reduce 401(k) contributions due to fears about job security. They discuss how to evaluate whether you're holding too much cash, the trade-offs between contributing to retirement versus living for today, and how the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement can work even if you start later in life. They also cover the impact of retiring abroad, how international taxes can complicate your strategy, and why certain insurance products might not match your goals.

We're back with another review for you because Natasha watched all of Pretty Smart! If you're keeping score... good for you, because I'm not and that is conceivably the whole point of this show. Dive in with us as we "spoil" this show (there's not much to spoil, it is just a sitcom in the best of ways), reveal our opposing opinions on what makes an episode the best episode of a show, and basically plot out the next two to three seasons of this show for Netflix. That's right, Netflix, if you're reading this, we've got these seasons written and ready to go for you. Just send a cheque our way and the deal is done. You don't need to listen to the episode though. Just trust us. We did a good job. We definitely didn't make everyone in the show queer and throw away the whole over-arcing plot of this season in favour of our queer revival. We would never do such a thing, Netflix. We are good and trustworthy people who do not only watch shows and conduct hostile takeovers of them to make everyone queer. That would be insane. This is a calm little review episode that does none of those things. Cheque, please?

Brad Crowell 0:01 Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins.Lesley Logan 0:05 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:48 Hello, Be It babe. Welcome to your short and sweet inspiration session that we all need. We all need reminders when you are recovering perfectionist, overachiever, hello, my type A person I see you. And we if you're new to the show, we do an interview on Tuesdays we do a recap on Thursdays we answer your question and Brad and I share what we loved about the interview I did. And then on Fridays, less than 10 minutes, ideally, it's all about winning because there are actually a lot of wins in your day. And so I love sharing your wins, you can send it to Be It Pod so you can hear what other people are doing. And also if you hear your win, you're like, oh my God, I did that, you get to like re-celebrate again. And also one of mine because none of us are on pedestals. We're all working our way. We're all human beings in this world. So I'm going to share the wins from you guys. I have a couple of those and one of mine. Lesley Logan 1:39 So the first one is from Linnea. She's an Agency member. So she's been kicking some ass. She wrote, "Transition to new booking software is complete and running smoothly." Whoa, that's a huge win. That's a huge ordeal. I am insanely grateful for my local superfan client, she's been going to be she's going to be my ongoing client model for filming videos for social media and my website and such and she's super excited helping my business grow. I'd love that. She has a couple more wins. "A great week of self-practice Tuefel workouts where I totally kicked my own butt plus a number of shorties. Onward to new clients new booking system is awesome for this." And so yeah, way to go Linnea. I mean, like this is really some great wins for your business. I love when you have (inaudible) a client who just like wants the part of the growth of it, and has a lot of fun. And then also that you took care of you. And you're like creating time by having this booking system. So way to go. Lesley Logan 2:39 Christine Bowen from Ireland. Her win is actually following lots of great input from some of the people from Agency. So Christine is an Agency member. And she got some insight and advice from me, from Bianca, from Linnea, and from Heidi and here's what she did, "I switched up my intro offer to a single session instead of three sessions and got my website all updated this week, I include the option for a quick phone call before their session to help them get the most out of their intro session. Someone completely new to me signed up yesterday after finding me on Google. I just called them and had a great chat. And I'm excited to see them on Monday, I planned a couple of questions, ask them on the call treatment like a discovery call. And I was able to get into how their pain is impacting them, anything that's stopping them from doing what they wish they could do to really understand their (inaudible). Now I can just jump straight into their session with them. And I've already planted the seed that their journey will take some time and consistency. So I'm confident to recommend a package for a weekly session, which is what is going to help them achieve what they want." Way to go, Christine. You guys, it's gonna be so scary to change a system or the way you do something in your business. It's like, oh, my God, is this going to work. And when you make the bold move, the universe matches you and like, boom, she made the change and then instantly got someone worked her new system. And now she has the confidence to take it to the next level. It's so, so important that the systems that you create work for you, and if they're not working for you, let's change them and celebrate that right? So way to go, Christine. Lesley Logan 4:08 All right, so my win last month, I was telling you guys like I hadn't planned 2024 that much. And today, I still haven't. And I am so excited about that but the win is I'm I got a lot of clarity around what I wanted next year to look like. And instead of like, what am I gonna do right now? I kind of was like, okay, now that I know what I want, what is the first next step and that's the only step I'm going to take. And I waited until I got home and then I sent to my assistant. Okay, here's what I need you to tell me about in the calendar. And then I am letting it be quiet impatient, like getting the information like what's the next next step? Right? I don't need to like, solve this entire project all at once and I think sometimes we tend to do that and if I were to do that, I would be distracted from all the other things that I'm working on right now. And instead, it's like, no, I'm going to be really patient. And I'm celebrating the patience that I'm having on this because a lot of times I'm like, I need certainty, which as we know from previous episodes, that just being perfectionist in disguise.Lesley Logan 5:12 I don't need certainty. I actually know with confidence that next year is going to be amazing. It's going to include all the things I want, there are gonna be things that I'm removing, because I don't want them that doesn't mean things that I don't want won't happen. But I'm curating the year that I want. And that means I can't rush it, I have to allow it to evolve and organically make these changes. And so I'm celebrating this as a win because it can be really easy to overschedule yourself, y'all. And I am so freaking proud that as of right now, we still have not overscheduled 2024. And if we don't do it by the end of the year, it won't happen so I'm so I'm so I'm so excited celebrating the I'm almost at the finish line and not waiting until I get there. You guys celebrate when you're on the path, you got to celebrate when you're on the path. It does not. The results are great, but you can't just celebrate only the results that you want. It's important. Lesley Logan 6:02 Okay, so the affirmation to percolate on today. I am doing the work that works for me. I am doing the work that works for me, doing the work that works for me. So maybe you need to overplan next year. Maybe overplan's a strong word, but maybe you need to plan next year. And you have to do it right now. Because you need to make sure that you have enough things happening to have the income goals you want to have. Well then do it you don't have to do it like me, because you're going to do the work that works for you. Lesley Logan 6:29 Thank you so much for listening to the Be It Till You See It podcast, it means the world to me, You have no idea how much you're part of this. We're almost at 300 episodes, which is kind of insane. So thank you. Thank you for sharing. Make sure you send your wins and until next time, Be It Till You See It.

The Special Abilities Network (SAN) is a team of financial planners who are members of the special needs community professionally and/or personally. They've made it their life's work to empower families in the special needs community because they understand what it means to wake up in the middle of the night with fears of the future. The founders of SAN prefer the term “special abilities” rather than “special needs.” This is because their own experience with their own children has been that, although they do need more help than typically developing individuals would, their children do have many special abilities. They have unique ways of connecting with others and shining a bright light on the world. Brady Murray is the proud father of 7 children, 2 with Down syndrome: one born into his family, Nash, and the other adopted from China, Cooper. The Murray family loves all things special needs and strongly believes in second chances. This belief fuels their love for foster care, and the two youngest children in the family were adopted through foster care.

Smart Planning James 4:13-17 Sunday, 11/28/21 1. Smart planning recognizes the uncertainties of life, holds plans loosely, and seeks God's will v.13-14,15 2. Smart planning recognizes the brevity of life and lives with eternity in view v.14 Psalm 39:4-6, “O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Surely a man goes about as a shadow!” 3. Smart planning recognizes the boastfulness of life and knows God is in control v.16-17

You hear about developers paving the way to financial freedom by converting one home into two, three or more, and you're eager to get a slice of the action. But there's more to know than knowing how to swing a hammer and loving interior design. Today we are going to find out what you need before you even think about putting on your tool belt, and put you in the know with some clever town planning advice for the first time developer. Chelci Cox is a passionate town planner from award-winning Smart Planning and Design. She loves helping first time or boutique developers save time and make money. 1. For those who don't know, what is town planning? a. What is its importance when it comes to developing property? 2. What do we need to consider before buying a property for development? 3. What's a planning scheme and how should we look at it to decide where to buy? a. Are there any key requirements that could easily be missed by just looking at the planning scheme? 4. How different can individual councils be when it comes to individual rules and regulations? 5. What are some of the unforeseeable issues that new developers need to understand before buying a block of land or development? 6. What do we need to consider during the planning stages of development to pass council regulations? a. I've seen new developers be told by council that they can only have a carport instead of a garage, or they need to put a skylight in a bedroom to create more natural light, yet experienced developers /town planners know how to talk to council to ensure that council don't devaluate their properties with these types of inclusions. Is this where a good town planner on your side will guide you through these unexpected council requests? 7. How about during the building stages of a development? a. I've seen one council approve an additional crossover for a side-by-side development then decide that the nature strip tree was too close to the new crossover, that the developer had to pay for the removal of the tree, and replace the tree a position one metre to the north. He got a quote of around $800 to do the job, council said 'No that's our land, we have had the tree valued at $4,000, plus our tree loppers will charge $2000 and you need to replace the tree to the size and type we require'. With all the costs and additional paperwork, it was around $8000. 8. Overall, how else can a town planner help you through the council process?

Welcome to today’s episode of Financial Fluency! I am so excited to have the amazing Nicole Wipp with me today. Nicole is a master of juggling multiple businesses. She owns the Family and Aging Law Center in Michigan, focusing on elder law and asset protection. She’s the host of the Smart Planning 101 podcast, the founder of Wipp Enterprises, focusing on business and personal development and does corporate consulting on the side! In this episode, Nicole will share with us about the importance of preparing for the future, either for care for your ailing parents, or care for you children, should you be found with a disability or should they have a disability, like autism. Nicole shares in depth about her illness, early in 2015, where she ended up in the hospital with a rare lung disease. It required her to be hospitalized for 30 days, receive over 50 medications, 4 surgeries, and her husband, 4 year old, and multiple businesses were left to make it on their own while she figured out exactly what was going on. Luckily her business was set up in such a way that it was able to function and go on without her for a full 90 days while she was in recovery. Her program Innate impact created out of this experience, to help entrepreneurs be prepared for temporary disability so their businesses can be self sustaining.

The LivableStreets Alliance recently hosted an event featuring ten speakers on various transportation and urban design topics. Episode 7a is our recap and analysis of the event. More info and the full list of speakers via LivableStreets. A few of the questions we considered in this show:What kind of transformative changes should be part of the GoBoston 2030 plan if it is to address the worsening housing and transportation crises? Are "complete streets" obsolete? Should we create single-mode streets? What are the economic implications of street design decision?Where and when can we introduce "gold standard" bus rapid transit (BRT) in Boston?How can we welcome new Youth Pass and University Pass users on a transit system already over capacity? What challenges and opportunities arise from having more students use public transportation?Can tech-focused private transit operators help to improve or supplement transit?Can aesthetics and recreation become key elements of urban design rather than an afterthought for the space "leftover" after movement is provided for?Frustrated by the slow speed of working within established planning processes? Why not build a DIY demonstration project to show people the benefits right away and build political support for more significant improvements. And how can we do it for transit?

The Supreme Court's recent decision in Clark v. Rameker means that every person needs to understand their options for protecting this important asset! If you own an IRA, 401k, 403b, tax-deferred annuity, or other qualified assets, understanding a recent Supreme Court decision (Clark v. Rameker) is essential if you wish this asset to be protected from creditors or bankruptcy. The point: INHERITED IRAs are not protected! Yet, with some SMART PLANNING, they can be. You just need to understand how and why to do it. Every person that has this type of asset, every financial professional (including financial planners and CPAs), and every estate planning attorney need to hear and understand this. I wrote a blog post on this topic (An Inherited IRA Is NOT Protected From Creditors in Bankruptcy!) the day after the decision was rendered. You can access the decision and learn more: click here.
For several years, there has been a divide among the courts nationwide as to whether or not IRAs that were inherited are protected from creditors or bankruptcy. As of June 12, 2014, we definitively know the answer – and it isn’t an answer most of you will like. The answer, according to the U.S. Supreme Court in Clark v. Rameker is…NO, an inherited IRA is NOT protected from creditors in bankruptcy. If you own an IRA, 401k, 403b, tax-deferred annuity or other qualified asset, understanding a recent Supreme Court decision (Clark v. Rameker) is essential if you wish this asset to be protected from creditors or bankruptcy. The point: INHERITED IRAs are not protected! Yet, with some SMART PLANNING, they can be. You just need to understand how and why to do it. In this episode, Dave Zumpano of Lawyers With Purpose returns to discuss protection of this all-important asset. Every person that has this type of asset, ever financial professional (including financial planners and CPAs), and every estate planning attorney needs to hear and understand this.

Read the show notes: www.SmartPlanning101.com/14 Listen to the entire episode related to facts about wills you don't know: www.SmartPlanning101.com/11
Even though wills are one of the, if not the, most familiar legal documents there are, the fact of the matter is, most people don't really understand how they work. Unfortunately, wrong information gets perpetuated by the talking heads of conventional wisdom…and bad decisions are made as a result. Is a will right for you? Are you sure? This episode is about getting rid of some of these misconceptions. I (Nicole) talk about 5 of the most common things people don't know about wills, and why they are crucial to smart planning. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Nicole Wipp, Family Estate Planning & Elder Law Attorney, Host of Smart Planning 101 Podcast Why a will is your ticket into probate court How wills create a perfect situation for predators that may be interested in what you're leaving behind (no privacy for your loved ones!) Why what your will says is often not what actually happens How wills are of limited use – and don't do anything for you during life How the ultimate cost of a will is much higher than you probably realize ***REMEMBER, THE INFO IN THIS PODCAST AND THIS WEBSITE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE!
