Are you a high earner who hasn't built wealth yet? Here's how to strategically invest and grow your money. In this episode of the Confident Retirement Podcast, host Kris Flammang and advisors Armando and Colin continue their HENRY series (High Earner, Not Rich Yet). They tackle the common challenge that many high-income professionals face: having the capacity to invest more but lacking knowledge about where and how to do it effectively. The team explains the three-bucket approach to organizing financial goals based on time horizons, discusses which investment vehicles are appropriate for different goals, and explores the benefits of retirement accounts, including employer-sponsored plans. Key Takeaways: → Understanding your risk tolerance is essential to developing a sound investment strategy that aligns with your financial goals and time horizon. → The "three bucket approach" categorizes your financial goals into short-term (3-5 years), intermediate (5-10 years), and long-term (10+ years) buckets, with appropriate investment vehicles for each. → For short-term goals, focus on principal-protected vehicles like high-yield savings accounts, certificates of deposit, or Treasury bills to ensure your money is available when needed. → Long-term investments (10+ years) can include growth-oriented options like ETFs, mutual funds, and individual stocks since you have time to weather market fluctuations. → Maximize employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k)s, especially when matching contributions are available, as they offer higher contribution limits than IRAs and potential tax advantages.
