## Resource

#716: When does a financial decision stop being purely about maximizing returns—and start becoming about building the life you actually want? Karen recently inherited sizable trusts for their children and is now navigating the complicated intersection of investing, taxes, legacy planning, and future financial aid eligibility. Matt has spent years building a solid index fund portfolio, but as retirement gets closer, he’s wrestling with a familiar investor problem: how do you know when optimizing becomes overthinking? Kate is trying to decide whether $35,000 should go into the stock market—or into building a backyard gym that could generate income while dramatically improving her family’s day-to-day quality of life. We’ve got a lot to unpack today, so let’s get into it. Book by Michael J.
