Lower cost means more money invested and compounding.
Why Mindful Money?
Mindful Money was created by Jonathan DeYoe. Jonathan is a Lutheran seminarian, turned Buddhist academic, turned financial advisor. His 25-year career has been devoted to financial education and getting advice to people locked out of traditional advice networks. You can read more about him HERE and HERE.
Jonathan and his brother David dreamed of working together to bring the very best financial advice to people like their parents when they were in their 30s. There were no investments to speak of and they were just barely getting by… they had nowhere to turn for education or advice.
No advisor would speak to them.
No bank would lend to them.
Brokers were only interested in selling them products.
In 2021, David drowned in the Pacific Ocean. Jonathan wanted to carry on their dream, both to honor his brother and to support his brother’s family who lost their primary source of income.
He merged his financial planning and investing business into a larger firm and is focusing on providing access to those who traditionally don’t have access – like his parents so many years ago.
Education is not enough – because knowing the right things to do, but not doing it, gets you nowhere. Regular financial coaching – digging into the monthly details, answering questions, offering perspective – helps you bridge the knowing/doing gap.
Those who DO fare better than those who KNOW.
The financial world is full of false promises, delusional beliefs, and outright lies. Most of what passes for financial journalism is an attempt to sell you on a manufacturer's product or a particular pundit's worldview. No one can predict what will happen next (good or bad), so none of the catastrophism is helpful in the long-term context.
The challenge is... we are all gullible, "Humans can be duped by liars and conned by frauds; manipulated by rhetoric and beguiled by self-regard... Not only CAN people be led astray, most people ARE... A sucker may be born every minute, but somehow that sucker is never oneself" – Tim Maudlin

Monthly Maintenance Tips
(how to be pro-active)
Every month there are 4-5 things to do that carry you through ALL the details of personal finance throughout the year – enabling you to focus on other things and reduce the money worry.
(Example) January:
- Retirement Income Plan Checkup
- New Retirement Savings Automation
- Portfolio Rebalance
- How-to Use Year End Bonuses
- Remember Q4 estimated tax-payments
- Set up your Annual Filing System
Ignore the Noise
(how to avoid re-acting)
Vanguard, Morningstar, and Russell (among others) suggest the largest benefit an advisor provides is behavioral. We have to push back on the urge to react.
We go live every month (more frequently as needed) to:
- Talk about major market/economic stories
- Place those stories in a larger context
- Remember fundamental principles
- Talk about what I am doing and not doing in my own personal finances (things you may wish to consider)
- ...all to keep a steady hand on the wheel
