ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A big year-end bonus. An inheritance. Proceeds from selling your business. A major company stock payout.
Any of these financial windfalls can open up exciting new possibilities. But before you start spending or investing, there are some important decisions to make.
So, what's the smartest first move you can make? Pause.
On this episode of Between Sips, Monument Wealth Management Partners and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals Jessica Gibbs and Emily Harper discuss how to approach a financial windfall thoughtfully, from protecting your newfound wealth to responsible splurges.
Emily and Jessica break down how to assemble the right team to tackle taxes, navigate stock concentration risk, and evaluate whether a phased-in investment approach makes sense for your windfall. Plus, they explore the relational side of wealth growth, including the lifestyle creep and making intentional decisions that align with your values.
If your net worth has just crossed a new threshold and you want to turn sudden wealth into lasting options, this episode offers a blueprint for what to do next.
