  • Planning for Longevity: Making the most of your years
    May 11 2026

    On today's episode, Matt talks about planning for longevity. As financial planners, we are trained to create plans through age 95 or 100. There are a lot of nuances to doing so, but there is also a lesson buried in the exercise: you can have higher quality of living through age 95 or 100 by thinking through some key pieces of the puzzle. What are the things you want to do and people you want to spend time with? What can you do today to prioritize health and wellness? What type of impact do you want to have with your money, whether that's family, charity, or community? Money is a piece of the puzzle, but it does not need to be the driving force of your longevity plan.

  • Financial Competence: Weekly habits to build on
    May 4 2026

    On today's episode of Great Points, Matt talks about building financial competence. Much like improving your physical fitness, knowledge only goes so far. Turning your financial literacy into a weekly habit is a great way to nudge yourself into making progress. Whether it's just checking your weekly spending, making recurring savings or investments, or anything else you've been meaning to do but "just haven't gotten to," making a commitment to yourself and telling someone else about it is a great step towards accountability.
