The more moving parts a strategy has, the smarter it must be. The harder it is to understand, the more impressive the advisor must be. And if you can't quite follow what's happening with your own money, well, that's just the price of having a \"real\" plan. What if that's exactly backwards? https://youtu.be/fI41Ex3OrjQ What if the complexity in your financial life isn't protecting your wealth but quietly eroding it? What if those layers of products, advisors, and strategies you've accumulated over the years have hidden costs that compound silently, year after year, in ways you've never been able to see? That's what we're talking about today. How complexity often shows up as fragmentation. How it creates blind spots and missed opportunities. And why it can lead to something far more dangerous: disengagement from your own financial life. This isn't an argument against all complexity. Some financial situations genuinely require sophisticated strategies, and we'll get into when that's the case. The real question is whether the complexity in your plan is serving you or serving someone else.
