“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…” – Ecclesiastes 3:1God has designed life to unfold in seasons, and with each one comes new challenges, opportunities, and sometimes, new finish lines. Today, Cody Hobelmann joins us to talk about why it's not only okay to adjust your financial finish line—it's often the wise and faithful thing to do.Cody Hobelmann is a Certified Financial Professional (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and a Wealth Advisor at Wealth Squared. He and his brother, Kealan, founded the Finish Line Pledge and also co-host the Finish Line Podcast, where they discuss the intersection of faith, generosity, and personal finance.What Is a Financial Finish Line?A financial finish line is simply an answer to the question, How much is enough? It helps us define what we need for our lifestyle so that everything beyond that can be redirected toward building God's Kingdom.There are two kinds of finish lines:Lifestyle (or Spending) Finish Line – The amount needed to fund your personal lifestyle.Accumulation (or Net Worth) Finish Line – The total assets needed to sustain that lifestyle for the rest of your life.These lines aren't rigid—they're tools to help us hold God's money with open hands, growing in both contentment and generosity.However, there's often a lot of pressure to get it exactly right, but what matters more is having a starting point. You'll grow and refine it as your life and faith journey progress.We recommend revisiting your finish line at least annually—or sooner if significant life changes occur, such as a new dependent, a move to a more expensive area, or a shift in health.The Four Buckets of MoneyTo help clients visualize their financial decisions, Cody teaches a simple framework that divides money into four “buckets”:Personal Spending – Covering day-to-day lifestyle costs.Future Planning – Savings and investments for future needs.Taxes – Obligations to the government.Kingdom Giving – Resources designated for generosity.A lifestyle finish line determines what belongs in the first two buckets, freeing the rest for eternal purposes.The Net Worth Finish Line: How Much Is Enough to Save?A net worth finish line is the amount we believe is appropriate to accumulate over a lifetime. The parable deeply informs us of the rich fool in Luke 12—the man who tore down barns to build bigger ones but failed to consider the brevity of life and the weight of eternal priorities.To set a net worth finish line, Cody walks clients through three core considerations:Lifestyle Needs – How much do you need each year?Wealth Transfer Goals – What will you leave to heirs or ministries?Conservative Margin – A buffer for life's unknowns—but not a replacement for trust in God.What Happens When You Cross the Finish Line?If you find yourself exceeding your finish line—accumulating more than necessary—we encourage asking yourself one essential question:“Why am I holding on to these resources in the first place?”God may have given you more not for personal security, but to fund the “good works He prepared in advance for you” (Ephesians 2:10). In that light, generosity becomes more than a response—it becomes a calling.Rather than letting a higher income raise our standard of living, it becomes an opportunity to increase our standard of giving.Not sure where to start? Try setting a finish line for 90 days. Just set a lifestyle finish line for three months and see what you learn.That short-term experiment opens the door to deeper financial freedom, greater contentment, and a stronger sense of purpose.A Finish Line That Leads to WorshipWe also should remember that at the end of the day, it's not just about money—it's about worship. 2 Corinthians 9:8 reminds us:“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work”To set a financial finish line, we must first recognize that everything belongs to God. It's not about figuring out how much of our money to give to Him—it's about learning to steward His money faithfully.Your finish line isn't a limit—it's an invitation to freedom, joy, and a deeper life of generosity.Want to Learn More?Ready to take the next step?

Sponsored by CPA Trendlines Pro Membership  – See Today's Special OfferBy Rory Henry CFP®, BFA™For CPA TrendlinesAs Teddy Roosevelt once said, “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.”When people ask why more accountants are incorporating holistic finance services into their practices, it's because they're realizing the power of empathy, trust, and the future of financial advice. It starts with a “human first” approach that goes beyond putting numbers into boxes.MORE Rory Henry and The Holistic Guide to Wealth ManagementSeth Fineberg, founder of Accountants Forward, and Philipp Hecker, CEO of Bento Engine, two of the expert contributors to my new book, Holistic Guide to Wealth Management, believe that accountants can leverage their trusted relationships with clients and adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to working with them.

Have you ever worried about where your paycheck will come from after retirement? That's the anxiety we tackle head-on in this illuminating discussion about creating reliable income streams for your post-working years.The income bucket represents the critical middle ground between emergency savings and growth investments in our three-bucket strategy. It's what transforms abstract financial plans (what we call "pie in the sky") into dependable monthly income you can count on ("pie on the table"). Our wealth advisors Jake Stone and Jeremy Day break down why having approximately 10 years of expenses set aside in properly structured income-generating investments provides the security retirees need to weather market volatility.Through compelling real-world examples, we examine sequence of returns risk – how the timing of market downturns can devastate retirement plans even with identical average returns. One retiree who began withdrawals in 1969 ran out of money in 15 years despite averaging 11.9% returns, while another starting in 1979 saw his money last beyond age 90 with a slightly lower 11% return. The difference? Market timing and proper income planning.We explore diverse income-generating options including bond ladders, dividend ETFs, fixed index annuities, private equity, and real estate investments. The goal isn't just maximizing return on investment but ensuring reliability of income – knowing your next "paycheck" is secured regardless of what happens in the broader economy.Whether you're approaching retirement or already there, this episode provides actionable insights on constructing an income strategy that delivers both security and growth potential. Because ultimately, financial planning should serve one purpose – allowing you to fully live today without constant worry about tomorrow.Jake Stone's BioJeremy Day's BioHear Past episodes of the Way2Wealth Podcast!https://theway2wealth.com Learn more about our Host, Scott Ford, Managing Director, Partner & Wealth Advisorhttps://www.carsonwealth.com/team-members/scott-ford/ Investment advisory services offered through CWM LLC, an SEC-registered investment advisor.
