I saw this LinkedIn post recently, and it made me stop. If you find yourself in this income range or even higher, and don't feel like you're getting ahead. Please give me a call. I can help.

Yes, your taxes are high.

Yes budgetting is still important.

It's time to take back control of your finances, eliminate all the waste that has likely built up over years of a rising income, and then put that money to work, giving you control back!

What I've Enjoyed Recently

The Madison, Taylor Sheridan's latest creation. Only a few episodes in, and a little different pace than his normal stuff. See if you enjoy it as well.

Have you always been interested in Palantir, but never fully understood what they do? Here is a great interview with the CTO.

Interesting perspective for founders and the importance of risk-taking at 32 minutes. I realize I use these as a reference often, but he's the best business interviewer I know.

About Me
