    Atomic Habits, Atomic Wealth: Applying James Clear's Framework to Your Financial Life

    What does Star Wars have to do with building wealth? More than you'd think. In this episode, Anastasia introduces Bill to the core framework from James Clear's bestselling Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones. This wide-ranging conversation connects several threads like Daoism, Newton's First Law, and what Yoda would say, to help you establish your best financial habits.  Bill shares three real patterns he has seen across 40+ years of working with clients and the small mistakes that can quietly derail wealth building over time. Why "I am someone who builds wealth" is fundamentally different from "I want to save more money" and the ancient philosophy behind it. Anastasia and Bill disagree on what they have seen when it comes to money beliefs. The specific moment when people damage the compounding curve without fully understanding what they've lost. The single financial habit Bill recommends above almost everything else and the small salary move Anastasia says will compound your wealth. Why starting is the hardest part, what a gym story about 100 lbs has to do with your savings account, and what Social Security and AI have to do with urgency right now. Listen in to learn how Atomic Habits by James Clear applies to your financial life.  Creating Wealth is hosted by Anastasia Taber, CFP®, and her father Bill Taber, a 40-year investment advisor. New episodes every other Friday.

    The Richest Man in Babylon: The 7 Money Principles That Still Work 100 Years Later

    What if the best financial advice ever written came from ancient Babylon and was published exactly 100 years ago? In this episode, Anastasia and Bill walk through the seven money principles from George S. Clason's classic The Richest Man in Babylon and break down why every single one of them still holds up in 2026. Bill has had his own handwritten notes from this book for decades, and today he brings them to the conversation. They cover: Pay yourself first — why 10% before anything else is the non-negotiable foundation of wealth, and what actually gets in the way Control your expenditures — the difference between what you need, what you want, and what you think you're supposed to have Make your money multiply — what compounding actually looks like over a lifetime, and where to start if you feel like you have nothing to invest Guard your money from loss — what Clason called "romantic desires in investment," and what that looks like today (hint: you've seen it on social media) Own your home, insure your future income, and increase your ability to earn — which of these three is the most underrated in 2026, and why Anastasia and Bill don't agree They also explore a bigger question:  Did George Clason understand the psychology of money before behavioral finance was even a field? Whether you've read the book or never heard of it, this episode will leave you with at least one principle you can act on this week. Enjoyed this episode?

    Should You Rebalance Quarterly? Why Calendar-Based Rebalancing Might Cost You Returns

    How often should you rebalance your investment portfolio? If you Google this question, you'll find the standard answer: quarterly or annually. But what if that advice doesn't fit YOUR situation? In this episode, father-daughter advisor team Bill and Anastasia Taber tackle the rebalancing debate: Questions answered:  ✓ What is portfolio rebalancing and why does it matter?  ✓ Why do passive investors rebalance on a calendar schedule?  ✓ What does academic research say about rebalancing benefits?  ✓ When should you break the quarterly rebalancing rule?  ✓ How do taxes change your rebalancing strategy?  ✓ Should you rebalance differently in your 401(k) vs. taxable account?  ✓ What's the difference between rebalancing for passive vs. active investors? The surprising truth: Without rebalancing, a 60/40 portfolio can drift to 80%+ stocks, creating way more risk than you intended. But rigid calendar-based rebalancing isn't the only solution. And for some investors, it's not even the best one. Anastasia (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™) and Bill (40+ years managing client money) explain why they don't follow conventional rebalancing advice, share real examples of when calendar rebalancing hurts returns, and reveal the tax implications many investors miss. Your takeaway: A clear framework for deciding how often YOU should rebalance based on your investment style, tax situation, and time horizon. Perfect for DIY investors, those working with advisors, or anyone trying to build a smarter investment strategy. Subscribe for behavioral finance insights and practical financial tips.

    Thinking Rich vs. Thinking Poor: 5 Mindset Shifts to Rewire Your Wealth Thermostat

    Why do lottery winners often end up broke within three years? Why do you suddenly face an unexpected car repair the moment you get a raise? It's not bad luck—it's your Money Blueprint. In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of wealth with a breakdown of T. Harv Eker's classic book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. We explore the groundbreaking premise that financial success is 80% psychology and only 20% mechanics. You can know everything about stocks and real estate, but if your internal "financial thermostat" is set to "struggle," you will subconsciously sabotage your own growth. In this episode, we cover: The "Financial Thermostat": Why you are subconsciously programmed to earn a specific amount of money (and how to reset it higher). Interest vs. Commitment: The difference between "wanting" to be rich and doing what is required. The 5 Wealth Files: The specific mindset shifts millennials need to make, including: Victim vs. Creator: Stopping the blame game to take 100% responsibility. Offense vs. Defense: Why playing "not to lose" keeps you stuck in the middle class. Net Worth vs. Working Income: Why high earners often have low wealth. The Rewiring Process: A practical 5-step system (Awareness, Understanding, Disassociation, Declaration, Action) to uninstall your limiting beliefs. The 7-Day Challenge: How to use physical declarations to change your internal programming this week. If you feel like you are working hard but staying in the same financial place, this episode will show you how to stop fighting your results and start changing your roots.   Remember to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who could benefit.
