If I were you, I'd panic to see a $7,100 vet bill. But because I'm me, I just booked the next check up. Zuko has been the apple of my eyes ever since I've brought him home. 5 years of fetch, licks and muddy paws. But he's one expensive dog. He's had: → 2 hip surgeries. → A dental surgery. → Prescriptions for allergies. → A bunch of grooming appointments. And now I don't even look at the bills. Not because I’m rich. But because I have a plan. A boring, automatic, consistent plan. I wish I knew Zuko would come with medical risks, but those are life's events that we aren't prepared for. So instead of waiting... that's what I did. Prepared. Every month, a small amount went into a pet sinking fund. I barely noticed it leaving. But when that $7,100 surgery hit: → I didn’t think of financing the surgery. → I didn’t have to tap into Emergencies. → I didn’t wonder what to cut back on. The money was already there. I swiped my Amex Gold, for the points. Paid for it as soon as I got home. That’s the thing most people miss: Planning doesn’t remove emotion. It removes chaos. I still cried when I heard the diagnosis. I still lost sleep the night before surgery. But I didn’t panic when they showed me the bill. I folded it, kept it in my pocket and went back to comforting Zuko. You may not own a pet, but I’ve seen this play out in other ways too: • When someone gets laid off. • When a car breaks down unexpectedly. • When a parent needs to fly in last-minute. In every scenario, the same truth shows up: The real cost isn’t the emergency — it’s the lack of preparation. And when the emotional weight is already heavy… You don’t want to carry the financial one too. If that hits, sit with it. Not out of shame. But because you deserve more than just “getting by.” It's tough to make small decisions every month. But it's even costlier to make decisions at the last resort. Don't be that person. Act today. ♻️ Repost this to help others take care of their pets. 🔔 Follow Omkar Shinde for the best ways to build your mindset and bank account.

My parents spent $28,881 to buy this Red Dodge Caravan. This purchase proved two tax strategies: 1. Cars can be smart purchases. 2. You don’t have to be rich to leverage the tax code. My parents are small business owners. → They don't run a multimillion dollar firm. → They don't have an inheritance. → Simple, middle class Americans. They needed something for the business that made sense. Something roomy, reliable, and could transport a bunch of people. The Caravan was a perfect fit. They didn’t buy it as a luxury. They bought it because it was practical. This is where I saw opportunity. Since it weighed over 6,000 lbs, it qualified for the Section 179 deduction. That meant a huge portion of the cost could be deducted this year. Not spread out. Not delayed. A real tax savings without needing to be a millionaire or own 10 LLCs. And that’s the point: You don’t need to be wealthy to use the tax code. You just need to understand it. You may think tax strategy is only for the ultra-rich. But in reality, it’s for anyone willing to structure their life with intention. From a red Dodge Caravan, to a more tax-efficient future. Safe to say, my parents were over the moon that their Engineer turned Financial Advisor son saved them ~$6,931 in taxes. (Only $93,609 to go to pay them back for the degree I didn't use.) Here's your takeaway: Don't curse out the system, Instead, start learning how the system actually works. And beat the IRS at it's own game. Or work with someone like me who's done it countless number of times. P.S. My Dad was utterly shocked to hear this strategy. And now he's been rethinking how much tax savings he's missed out on. It might be wise for you to do the same. ♻️ Repost this to help others leverage the tax code. 🔔 Follow Omkar Shinde for the best ways to build wealth with intention.

I consider Real Estate to be a Japanese Katana. Majestic to look at, hard to wield. Here's why: Real Estate has created 90% of all millionaires in the US. It’s elegant on paper. Appreciation, cash flow, tax advantages — it checks all the boxes. You’ve seen it on YouTube. Heard it from the gurus on LinkedIn. Toured it virtually on Zillow, I bet. “Buy property. Build wealth. Retire early.” But real estate isn’t passive. It’s not easy. And it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all tool. Buying a rental property isn’t the same as owning a business. You’re not just buying bricks. You’re buying: → Risk. → Responsibility. → Repairs at 2 AM. I’ve seen both GP and LP deals. And they are not the same game. As a GP, you’re in the trenches: • Finding deals • Managing tenants • Covering shortfalls when things break As an LP, you’re writing the check... But giving up control. That 16% IRR might seem great on paper, but once that capital call comes in.... there goes your money. What most people miss? Real estate is just one tool. It’s not the plan. It’s not the destination. It’s a vehicle. Used right, it can buy freedom. Used wrong, it'll dig your grave. So yes, real estate is powerful — But only when you know how to wield it. Or when you let someone else hold the sword. ♻️ Repost this to share the power of Real Estate. 🔔 Follow Omkar Shinde for the best ways to build your mindset and bank account.

For my first 18 months in business, I felt invisible. Folks intentionally avoided conversations on money around me. Instead, they would: - Look at me as if I had horns growing out of my head. - Talk only about their day and excuse themselves. - Avoid answering questions that had meaning behind it. I even stood behind a table, flyers in hand, and marketed my firm at a Weiner Dog Race in Buda, Texas. Yet.... crickets. It taught me a lot about human psyche, marketing and rejection. Here’s what I learned: 1. If you don't open your mouth, you won't get fed. People won’t come to you unless you invite them in. A genuine smile opens more doors than any sales script. 2. Don't sell. Teach. If you educate them, they lean in. They ask questions. They remember. 3. Don't take judgements seriously. Financial advisor? Oh, one of *those* guys. But the irony is — those same people had questions they were too scared to ask out loud. 4. Become interested, not interesting. People love talking about themselves, as they should. Because buried under those conversations... are real worries. Debt. Guilt. Uncertainty. 5. Time was the biggest enemy. "I wish I started 10 years ago..." And when they said it, they weren’t joking. You could see it in their eyes, they meant it. Here’s the truth: People may not respect what I do until they need it. But when that moment comes? They don’t need a sales pitch. They just need help. Financial education in this country is broken. And the longer we stay silent about it, the worse it’s going to get. So, I'll always be on the mission of financial literacy.

4 years ago, I couldn’t sell to save my mom's life. Last year, I closed my biggest client: a Fortune 1000 VP. I still remember my hand trembling as he was signing the engagement letter. My biggest client ever, basically an additional 0 to my income per year. And in that moment it hit me... This wasn’t luck. It was the countless reps, rejections, and follow-ups that led me here. Not just with him, but every single: - DM that never got a response. - Intro call that was a no show. - Client that chose not to move forward. Brought me what I needed to close him. Here’s 5 lessons I learned along the way that I want to share: 1. Confidence comes first. Not from results — from repetition. These small wins stack into the person who you say you are. 2. Credibility is built in silence. Before people book a call, they lurk and stalk. Your presence online matters more than you think. 3. Titles mean nothing without trust. Whether it’s a VP or a founder — people want transparency. Not fluff. Not a product. Real strategy, real clarity, real expertise. 4. Lead with value, not with price. No one remembers how cheap you were. They remember what changed because of you. And for that, no price is too much. 5. Most people give up too early. The ones who follow up? Those are the ones who get remembered... and get paid. I used to think I had to be the next Andy Elliot to win. Now I know — it’s all about showing up and adding value. One real relationship at a time. ♻️ Repost this to help others keep going. 🔔 Follow Omkar Shinde for the best ways to build your mindset and bank account.

If you made $5,000,000,000 today, you'd pay ~37% of it in taxes. Peter Thiel found a way to pay 0%. In 1999, Thiel bought 1.7 million shares of PayPal at $0.001 each inside his Roth IRA. A Roth IRA is a tool that you contribute to after-tax, grows tax deferred, and is tax free when you take it out.** That $1,700 grew to $55 million by 2002 when PayPal was acquired. $55,000,000 tax free? Seems enough right? Nope, he did it again. In 2004, Thiel used his Roth to invest $500,000 into Facebook (now Meta). That stake alone ballooned to an estimated $1B. He kept reinvesting inside the Roth. No capital gains. No income tax. Just tax-free compounding inside the most “middle-class” account on the market. Reminder: This isn’t about exploiting loopholes or avoiding taxes. It’s about understanding the system and playing long-term games with long-term tools. Most people think Roth IRAs are only for $7,000/year contributions. Peter Thiel showed they can be used to build generational wealth if you know how to structure it correctly. Everything you have at your disposal is a tool. - IRA's - 401(k)s - Insurance - Real Estate But you often think Billionaires are scammers or they bribe the government. Reality is: They leverage the rules correctly, beating the system at it's own game.

You manifested 2025 to be "THE" year. But five months in, you’ve still struggled to make a decision. You promised you’d get organized. You even blocked time on your calendar. You swore you'd get your s**t together and take action. And then what? "Oh my boss keeps piling stuff on me." "You know, the kids activities are just a handful." "I just got back from an onsite, let me settle down and we can catch up next week." Meanwhile... The Credit card debt is stacking on. Your investments rise and fall based on Trump's mood. The tax bill is through the roof but the paycheck is stagnant. And when you finally have the courage, you become overwhelmed by what you didn’t do. And you push it off again. And the hamster wheel starts again. You just haven’t learned the truth: Avoiding your finances is costlier than mismanaging them. One delays decisions. The other delays retirement, freedom and peace. Remember: Real, impactful strategies take 3-6 months to implement. Without a real plan in place: • You're not in control, time is. • Stress builds each day you're busy. • And wealth slowly diminishes with poor choices. In the blink of an eye, it's 2030, and you're still on the same hamster wheel. And retirement is nowhere in sight. The damage isn’t just financial. It’s emotional. My clients are high-income Tech and Sales executives making more than $200,000 a year. And most of them came to me after months, sometimes years, of not acting.

Moved here in 2014 as a 16 year old. Absolutely clueless on how I was going to "make it". I was never taught about money. I didn’t grow up hearing about investing. I grew up hearing things like: "We can't afford this right now." "Why do you want a car? I can drive you." "You can get these same shoes at Walmart for $20." As most kids are, I was sold a dream. A dream where a $80,000 peice of paper could buy a little more breathing room. I thought engineering was my ticket. Worked for it. Sacrificed for it. And still ended up jobless when I graduated. At the time, it felt like failure. Looking back — it was just redirection. Finance found me when nothing else made sense. It was a door that cracked open when all the others slammed shut. Since then, every step has been intentional: → Building a business, not chasing jobs. → Managing money, not surviving paychecks. → Planning for abundance, to pass on the life I've wanted to live. Just a decision I made somewhere between frustration and faith: If it’s going to happen, it’s because I built it. And every client I work with now? They’re living proof of: It doesn’t matter where you start. It matters who you choose to become. For those of you feeling stuck, or frustrated.... If you’re building something bigger than your past, take this as a sign to keep going. The life you’re creating will feel unbelievable... because it is. Only till you achieve it.

He borrowed $50 from his dad to sell sneakers out of his trunk. Today, his vision is worth over $150B. And Phil Knight’s net worth? $40B+. But it didn’t start on a Forbes list. He was rejected by banks to fund his dream. Outpaced by Adidas' century old practice. Barely living of scrap for years. He slept in cheap motels, Flew coach to Japan, And reinvested every cent — even when there wasn’t much to reinvest. While everyone else chased comfort, He chased consistency.

There's a shift taking place today, but you're too blind to notice. 25 year olds are rejoicing in receiving job offers. 35 year olds want out of corporate. 25 year olds are swiping credit cards like they have a trust fund. 35 year olds regret the debt they got into. 25 year olds are living Kardashian lifestyles. 35 year olds wish they'd saved more. 25 year olds enjoying the free lunches at work. 35 year olds getting frustrated about reporting to their boss. Believe it or not, This is you, 10 years apart. You're following the same cycle: • Your colleagues follow • Your partner follows • Your parents follow Did that hit your ego? Good. Unless you want to be stuck in the same endless cycle.

Stop looking for the best High Yield Savings Account. I'll tell you right now... It's not worth your time. I agree traditional banks don't pay anything. • Bank of America - 0.01% • Wells Fargo - 0.01% • Chase - 0.01% Compared to some HYSA's: • SoFi - 3.9% • Ally - 3.7% • Capital One - 3.65% If you have a $10,000 emergency fund, Traditional banks: $1/year HYSA's: $390/year Difference: $398/year A $500,000 emergency fund: Traditional banks: $50/year HYSA's: $19,500/year Difference: $19,450/year Do you have a $10,000 emergency fund, or a $500,000? Most likely $10,000. So here are 2 things you can take away from this: 1. HYSA's are effective with high amounts. → You need to have a high liquid amount to notice the value. 2. You're better off trying to make more money. → Focus on scaling your side hustle or changing your W2 because $33/month won't change your financial plan.

In 2020, I walked away from upgrading my car. That decision made me $42,847. I was at a dealership ready to trade in my beat up high school car. Loan approved. Credit cleared. Just one signature left. The new Jaguar XE: $640/month. That’s what it would’ve cost me. I looked outside. My 2012 Subaru was sitting there. 63,000 miles. No issues. No payments. My body just gut punched me and right then, I backed out. No spreadsheet. No second opinions. Just went with it. Instead of the Jaguar, I chose my future. Redirected $640/month into my retirement account. Kept stacking it. Automatically. Fast forward: That one decision will grow into 7+ figures over time. I still remember the sting of leaving the lot. But now? I feel zero regret. Sacrifices are loud in the moment. But wealth? It builds quietly in the background. P.S: Ended up buying the Jaguar 2 years later.... at a discount.

In business, luck is not an inexplicable trait that God bestows upon you. As Alex Hormozi says: Luck is a consequence of the consistent effort, volume, and skill required to achieve results. And I couldn't agree more. In fact, I lived it this past week. People love pointing to success and calling it “luck.” Because it makes them feel better about staying where they are. They see the win: • The feature in Forbes. • The million-dollar month. • The "working remotely on the beach" post. What they don’t see: → The days that bills couldn't be paid. → The clients who ghosted after weeks of follow-up. → The nights filled with doubt, impostor syndrome, and the urge to quit. Success rarely announces itself. It usually shows up dressed as another failed attempt. Another quiet launch. Another no-show call. But every one of those moments builds pressure. And at some point, if you keep showing up — Something gives. I've been sending 20 DMs a day to my ideal clients. Mostly crickets and rejections. But once in a while, you get the one you're looking for. This has increased business by 37% over the last 12 months. I've noticed: A door opens. Someone takes a chance on you. The offer clicks. The message lands. And the wave starts to build. That’s the part they call “luck.” But it’s not luck. It’s volume. It’s failure stacked so high it finally tips into something bigger. You don't wait for lucky breaks. You earn them. By being so consistent, so prepared, That when the moment shows up—you're ready to catch it. Don't be the guy who'll fumble the winning play.

Harsh Truth: Being busy isn't a flex. It's an excuse, a lie you tell yourself. Here's what being busy really means. → It means you have time to scroll... But not to invest. → Time to binge 3 episodes… But not to budget 30 minutes. → Time to complain about your job, your pay, your boss. But not time to sit down and build a plan. “Busy” isn’t the truth. It’s a shield. A defense mechanism for you to avoid the discomfort of change by enhancing the value of your time. I've seen it firsthand: → AE's making $200K, still living paycheck to paycheck. → Engineers working 70-hour weeks with no savings to show for it. → Prospects who need help but “don’t have time” for financial planning. ...then spend 4 hours comparing hotels for a trip they can’t afford No judgment. I get it. Action is uncomfortable. It forces you to admit you need to change. But here's the reality: The price of inaction compounds till it can never be repaid. → You'll make it by with $1,000 in the bank. Till you have a cost that insurance can't cover. → When your son turns 18 and is applying to his dream school. There's no college fund. → When you thought retirement is near, But now you have to wait till 76 to make up for lost time. “Busy” is the most expensive lie you will tell yourself.

Real Estate isn't a one size fits all. My client made $286,000 because they walked away. Here’s what happened: I onboarded a new couple in February: → Husband in tech sales. → Wife was a software engineer. → 401(k)s, IRAs, some insurance. One home. One son. They weren’t clueless. Just needed direction. We built out a full plan, presented and then she paused. “I want to buy rental properties.” She was firm. Almost non-negotiable. Her reasoning? “My friend is selling one of her rentals to pay for her kid’s college.” Seemed like a smart move. But here’s what she didn’t see: Her friend? → Started investing in 2006 → Bought properties when rates were 3% → Locked in deals at $215K → Had time and equity on her side My client? → Moved to the U.S. in 2017 → Just now building financial momentum → Living in a market where homes cost $350K+ → Facing 6.5% interest rates One had a 17-year head start. The other is still getting their footing. The math doesn’t lie: To make rentals cash flow today, she would’ve needed a massive down payment. It would’ve drained her liquidity. Crushed her flexibility. And delayed every other goal in the plan. Everyone wants the outcome. Few understand the timeline. Real estate is powerful — but only when it fits your life. Not someone else’s. Not some podcast’s. Not some cousin’s in a different zip code, rate era, or tax bracket. Trying to copy someone else’s 17-year journey in year 3?

Your job at Oracle and Real Estate side hustle might impress your friends. But your bank account? Still dryer than the Sahara. You’re grinding: • Crushing it at your 9-5. • Growing your side hustle. • Doubling your streams of income. But here’s the harsh reality: • Taxes are eating away your profits. • You’re overworked and under-saving. • You have no system to manage cash flow. What’s the point of earning more if you’re not keeping more? Let’s break it down: You’re making money from two places, But your lifestyle and lack of planning are leaving you broke. Here’s how to fix it: 1️⃣ Track Everything: Treat your side hustle like a business. Track income and expenses meticulously—leverage tools like QuickBooks or spreadsheets. 2️⃣ Build a Tax Strategy: Use deductions, write-offs, and pre-tax contributions to reduce your overall burden. Your side hustle can help you save if you plan wisely. 3️⃣ Automate Investments: Set up automated contributions to your 401(k), IRA, and a brokerage account.

I spent $2,684 on my trip to the Northeast last weekend. This trip proved two cash flow management techniques: 1. Systems create mental peace. 2. There’s no such thing as budgeting. We flew to New Hampshire for Shreya’s MBA graduation. Took a scenic road trip through Maine. Wrapped it up with a day in Boston. I didn't have to split between different credit cards. Not once did I check my bank account. Not once did I feel guilty spending. Because I wasn’t “budgeting.” I was allocating. Every dollar had a job before the trip even started: • Investment fund? On autopilot. • Travel fund for the year? Already filled. • Mortgage, Insurance, utilities? Covered. • Business? Still moving while I was gone. That’s what real financial control looks like. And if you’re in sales — living off commission, watching income swing every month — you know that stress better than most. One month you’re up $14,842. Next month, you’re wondering how much to hold back “just in case.” That’s why I stopped budgeting based on guesses. And started building a system that adjusts as my income does. And I implement that same system for my clients. So when I take a trip, I don’t overthink it. Because I already planned for the unpredictable — and still made space for the fun. No more guilt. No more guessing. Just structure that works with how I actually earn. P.S: The Lobster Rolls in Maine have just become my top 5 favorite foods of all time.

Most adults wander through life until their hair turns grey. I'm blessed I found my calling at 22. Before I became a financial advisor, I tried everything: → Started streaming Valorant in college. → Tried Amazon FBA but didn't have $10k to spend on it. → Jumped from one tech sales job to another to get fired 6 months in. → Opened up RuffChewers, an online luxury pet store. Sold it for $7k 4 months later. And each time I quit something, people around me made it feel like I was falling behind. Like I lacked focus. Like I was wasting time. In the moment, it felt like I was, but looking back I wasn’t. I was figuring it out. Because somewhere deep inside me, I just knew that life has more to offer. Every wrong turn revealed what I didn’t want. And every dead end forced me to ask better questions. That’s how I found this path. I won't lie, the money, the freedom and the independence spoke to me here. But what I stayed for was: 1. Helping clients fix their money. 2. Watching families gain clarity. 3. Building a team to duplicate more leaders. 4. Being a voice of clarity when everything feels uncertain. It just clicked. And since then, I haven’t looked back. So for those who want a peek behind the screen: Refuse to settle. I tried more things than most people were willing to. And when I found the thing that made me forget about time — I went all in.
