In this episode, Sam Mollaei and Neil Tyra share practical tips to help you take control of your finances.

Key Takeaways from Sam and Neil:

1. Whatever You Track, Grows: Track Every Dollar with a Simple Google Sheet

Tracking every dollar provides financial clarity and prevents overspending.

A simple Google Sheet lets you monitor accounts, link documents, and automate updates, aligning passive income with expenses to help achieve financial independence.

2. Concentrate on a Few Key Investments Instead of Over-Diversifying. Keep it Simple

Over-diversification leads to complexity and diluted returns.

Focus on no more than three high-quality investments, researching them thoroughly, to simplify portfolio management and position yourself for stronger long-term growth.

3. Invest for the Long Term, Don’t Trade

Frequent trading leads to stress, losses, and unnecessary fees.

Instead, embrace a "buy and hold" strategy for long-term growth, allowing your investments to benefit from compounding and build generational wealth.

4. Invest Heavily in Learning Before You Take the Leap: Spend Time Educating Yourself Before Investing

Rushing into investments based on tips can be costly.

Dedicate time to learning from reliable sources and experts, building the confidence and knowledge needed for smarter, more informed decisions.

5. Resist the Urge to FOMO—Patience is Your Friend

FOMO-driven decisions, especially during volatile markets, often backfire.

Stay patient, step back, and wait for calmer opportunities, as wealth is built by identifying undervalued investments rather than chasing trends.

"You shouldn't need to work for the rest of your life... But if you're always consistently working and still don't have anything saved up, it's just a rat race." — Sam Mollaei

"The horror stories I’ve seen over the years with attorneys in financial trouble are largely because they don’t know what’s going on—they’re riding by the seat of their pants." — Neil Tyra
