Two Things We Are Currently Building

​

Just to keep you in the loop, we’re working on a couple of exciting things that I think you’re going to love:

​

1. Money on Autopilot – This is our brand-new course designed to teach you how to fully automate your finances. Imagine spending less time managing money while still staying on track with your goals.
2. A Personal Finance Community – This will be a game-changer. You’ll get direct access to me every month, plus tons of courses, content, and a chance to connect with like-minded people who are building wealth just like you.

​

Both are launching in 2025, and I couldn’t be more excited.

​

We’re also in the early stages of developing some software to help make managing your money even easier. Big things are coming, and I can’t wait to share them with you! Stay tuned!

This Can Make a $1M Difference in Your Portfolio

​

There are two things I can tell you right now that will boost your returns significantly over the long term.

​

1. Invest more every year (duh)
2. Re-invest your dividends in your Index Funds,

​

If you are not automatically re-investing dividends you are missing out on an amazing opportunity.

​

Here is an example:

This chart illustrates the difference dividend reinvestment can make in an S&P 500 index fund, starting with just $10,000 in 1990.

​

The blue line shows the portfolio value with dividends reinvested, while the orange line represents the value without reinvesting dividends.

​

The gap is staggering, showing how reinvesting dividends unlocks the power of compounding.
​

Now let’s crank up the stakes:

This next chart demonstrates what happens when we start with $100,000 instead of $10,000. With dividends reinvested, the portfolio soars to over $2.25 million.

​

Without reinvestment? It only grows to $850,000.

​

The best part? It’s effortless.

​

All you have to do is check a box and let the dividends do the heavy lifting.

​

So here’s your reminder: If you’re not reinvesting dividends, you could be making a multi-million dollar mistake over the long term. Don’t miss out.
