40 Years, 3 Generations, and a New Approach to Financial Freedom

Comments 0 Comment

Note: I originally wrote this the weekend of my 40th birthday and Mother’s Day, reflecting on family, finances, and legacy. Life got in the way—but the message still hits.

That weekend was full of reflection as I walked through my old neighborhood and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing off the water from the upper deck of the Staten Island…

Sound familiar? That’s because we’ve…
