Something is about to happen to your 401(k) that almost nobody
is talking about.
On June 12th, SpaceX is expected to debut on the Nasdaq at a
$1.75 trillion valuation β the largest IPO in history. But the
real story isn't the IPO itself.
It's the quiet rule change that means your retirement account
may be forced to own a piece of SpaceX within days, not years.
Tesla waited 10 years before joining the S&P 500. SpaceX is
waiting 5 trading days. And if you're between 45 and 65, this
changes the math on your retirement plan.
I've spent the week digging into the S-1 filing, the FTSE
Russell rule change, and what a $25 billion Danish pension fund
just did that should make every American saver pay attention.
Full breakdown drops tomorrow. Turn on notifications β you'll
want to see this before the headlines catch up.

Here's a question I want you to sit with for a minuteβ¦
If you're between 45 and 65 right now, when did anyone actually ASK you if you wanted to take on all the risk of funding your own retirement?
Because that's exactly what happened over the last 40 years. Quietly. One corporate decision at a time.
In my next video, I'm breaking down the full story of how Corporate America moved trillions of dollars in retirement risk off their balance sheets⦠and onto YOURS.
We're talking the 1963 collapse that started it all, the 1978 tax loophole nobody was supposed to use this way, and the man who invented the 401(k) and now calls it a "monster."
Drop a π° in the comments if your employer ever froze or killed your pension. I want to read every single story.
New video drops soon. Hit that bell so you don't miss it. π

If you have a pension, I have some news that might change how you retire.
Only about 18% of American workers still have a real pension. The other 82% are in 401(k)s β and almost every retirement article, every finance channel, every "expert" rule of thumb out there was built for them, not for you.
The 4% rule? Built for 401(k) holders. The glide-to-bonds advice? Built for 401(k) holders. "Claim Social Security early"? Same story.
If you blindly follow the standard playbook with a pension in your pocket, you could leave tens of thousands of dollars on the table. In some cases, hundreds of thousands.
In my next video, I'm breaking down 7 things pension holders should be doing differently in 2025 β including the WEP and GPO repeal that just changed retirement for 2.8 million people.
Drop a π if you want the alert. Dropping soon.

Quick question for everyone with a pensionβ¦
Have you ever added it to your net worth?
Most people never do. And that means they're undercounting
their real wealth by hundreds of thousands β sometimes over
a MILLION dollars.
In my next video, I'm breaking down 4 proven methods
financial planners actually use to calculate the true value
of a defined benefit pension. We're talking real examples,
including a firefighter captain whose pension came in at
$2,354,500 on paper, and a retired couple sitting on a
$1.67 MILLION pension they never counted.
If you have a pension β or your spouse does β this video
will change how you see your retirement picture forever.

in your net worth? Yes or no?

Two retirees. Same job. Same salary. Same savings.
One retires comfortably with $50,000 a year β guaranteed, for life.
The other spends every morning checking the stock market, terrified of running out.
The only difference between them? A pension.
In my next video, I'm breaking down exactly why having a pension in
retirement changes EVERYTHING β and why 85% of private sector workers
in America will never get one.
We're talking real numbers from the 2024 Census, the truth about how the
401(k) became an "accidental" replacement for pensions, and what you
should be doing RIGHT NOW if you're between 45 and 65.
If you've ever wondered why your parents retired easier than you ever will,
this one is for YOU.

New video is LIVE π¬
If you've got a 401(k) and you're within 5 years of retirement, please don't skip this one.
I just spent way too many hours inside IRS publications so you don't have to, and what I found is that most pre-retirees make one specific rollover mistake that quietly costs them six figures in taxes.
In the video I walk through:
β Direct vs indirect rollover (and the 20% IRS withholding trap)
β Why the Rule of 55 can disappear the moment you roll over
β The Roth conversion ladder and the "tax valley" window
β The Vanguard finding that 28% of rollovers sit in cash for 7+ years
β The NUA loophole nobody tells you about
π Watch here: [https://youtu.be/aPsKeu8pAtk]
Tell me in the comments β how many years are you from retirement?

Coming this week π
Here's a question I want you to sit with before the next video drops:
The 30 years you spent saving into your 401(k) β what if they matter LESS than the 5 years right before you retire?
Not the investing. Not the returns. The plumbing.
How you move that money, when you move it, and where it lands in those five years can quietly save you a six-figure tax bill across retirement β or cost you one.
In the new video, I'm breaking down the 401(k) to IRA rollover strategy almost nobody explains correctly. The Rule of 55 trap. The Vanguard study that found 28% of rollovers sit in cash for 7 years. The Roth conversion window that closes at 73.
If you're between 50 and 65, this one's built for you.

πΊ NEW VIDEO IS LIVE π [https://youtu.be/-oXEdDAHNWo]
If you're approaching retirement, this is the video I wish someone
had shown me 10 years ago.
Most retirement advice tells you what to BUY and how much to SAVE.
Almost nobody talks about what to SELL. And honestly? That's where
the real peace of mind comes from.
In today's video, I'm breaking down:
β The oversized home that's quietly draining $18,000/year
β Why financially supporting your adult kids could cost you your
best years
β The boat, RV, or classic car that became an expensive burden
β Whether you really need that second car anymore
β The hardest one to let go of β and you can't sell it on eBay
Plus, a simple 3-question test you can run on ANYTHING in your life
to know if it stays or goes.

"The Pension Didn't Die β It Got Handed to YOU"
If you've ever opened your 401(k) statement, done the math, and
felt that quiet drop in your stomach⦠this one is for you.

β Why the average 401(k) balance ($148,153) leaves most people short
β The 1978 tax loophole that accidentally became America's retirement system
β What happens to Social Security in 2034 (and what 81% actually means)

immediate annuities, and modern semi-passive income
β A real $400K example layered into $6,000/month β without touching principal
β The SECURE 2.0 rule changes almost nobody is talking about
This isn't doom-scrolling. It's a framework.

π NEW VIDEO DROPPING SOON β Pension Holders, This One's For You
Quick question: if you have a pension, why are you taking retirement advice written for people who don't?
The 4% rule, the "save 25x your expenses" math, the standard glide path β all of it assumes you're funding retirement out of a single pile of investments. You're not. You have a foundation. And almost nobody on YouTube is explaining what that actually means for your money.
This week I'm dropping a deep dive on why EVERYTHING changes in retirement when you have a pension β the lump sum trap, the survivor decision that could cost your spouse six figures, the 2025 law that just made millions of pensioners richer, and how to actually calculate what your pension is worth.
If you're a teacher, firefighter, federal worker, nurse, or anyone lucky enough to still have one β hit the bell so you don't miss it.
What's YOUR biggest pension question? Drop it below. π
