My 9 year-old daughter and I have an ongoing debate: How do they make duck sauce?🦆 My theory is that they take a duck, toss it in a blender, and... you know. She believes they squeeze the duck really, really hard like a lemon until duck sauce comes out. 👉 What's your take?

Plan on leaving a big inheritance? Your kids will probably receive it in their 60's. - shouldn't their retirement be all set by then? - what will they do with the money? - can they benefit from it earlier in life? Someone will fly first class... might as well be you.

If your financial advisor doesn't review tax returns, Ask them, "Why not?" Taxes are likely to be one of your top 3 lifetime expenses. And, while you certainly have to pay what you owe... You don't need to leave the IRS a tip!

My favorite part about entrepreneurship is the network of peers I've met along the way. Such a generous, smart, and driven group that I'm proud to call my friends.

Calling it "debt forgiveness" sounds so nice. Better than "transferring the cost onto all taxpayers" anyway...

If you wouldn't be excited to sell shares of stock in a downturn, you shouldn't be excited about receiving a dividend. The net effect on your ownership in the company is the same.

If you're interviewing financial advisors, here's a great "test" question: - what do you think about annuities? 🚩 if the response is not nuanced and includes "always" or "never".
