Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Why should I care about finances and investing?

If you have any aspirations of retiring while you're still young enough to enjoy your free time, the old Baby Boomer strategy of just saving money and investing in mutual funds or your 401K for 40+ years is inadequate to achieve that goal. Even with a military retirement, it is more important than ever to have a well thought out plan for your financial future and a diversified investment strategy, ideally including one or more passive or semi-passive income streams.

What is financial independence? Financial freedom?

Being financially independent means that you could retire early and continue living your current lifestyle, working as much or as little as you choose, usually via one or multiple streams of passive or semi-passive income. Financial freedom goes one step further and allows you to indulge in a more luxurious, do-what-I-want lifestyle beyond basic financial independence.

What is househacking?

Put simply, househacking means finding ways to generate income from your home (primary residence). There is a whole spectrum of methods for doing this, from renting out individual rooms in your home to purchasing a 2-4 unit multifamily property, living in one unit, and renting out the rest. Househacking is quite possibly the single most powerful and accessible form of real estate investing and wealth-building out there.

What is generational wealth?

Generational wealth refers to any kind of asset that a family passes down to future generations. This often includes financial assets such as property, investments, or cash; but intangibles like a robust financial education, strong values, and good habits are equally, if not more important.
