Ep #309: K-1s, REITs, and the Real Cost of Alternative Investments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alternative investments often look especially attractive to high earners because they promise something traditional portfolios don't—different return streams, unique tax treatment, and access to opportunities outside the public markets. But the structure behind those investments can matter just as much as the return being advertised. In this episode, we're breaking down where the real advantages are, where the complexity starts to show up, and what should actually drive the decision before tax b
Ep #308: Are Bonds Broken? What the Worst Decade in Treasuries Really Means (opens the original)

Read excerpt
ER doctors spend their careers watching seemingly small decisions turn into very predictable bad outcomes. Financially, the same thing happens—usually not because of one catastrophic mistake, but because of habits and decisions that seem harmless in isolation.
