    What Benjamin Franklin Teaches Us About Building Wealth Today

    Are taxes and the economy really the main things holding your finances back? Long before modern financial software and complex investment strategies, Benjamin Franklin observed that our own habits often tax us far more than external circumstances. In this episode of Plan to Prosper, Logan and Dalton examine Benjamin Franklin's classic essay, The Way to Wealth, and break down how its core principles apply to building wealth today. They discuss why your earning capacity is your first major asset, how to keep personal oversight of your finances even when working with professionals, and how lifestyle creep quietly erodes wealth. Most importantly, they reflect on why true financial stewardship requires humility, character, and recognizing God's hand in all our endeavors. What You'll Learn: Why your time and earning capacity are your primary wealth-building assets The danger of financial abdication and why you must know your core numbers How small recurring expenses and lifestyle creep silently drain your wealth Why financial virtues must be rooted in reliance on God rather than self-reliance Subscribe for future episodes filled with practical tools and timeless biblical wisdom.

    Your Financial Plan Is Lying To You (Sort Of)

    Why does your financial plan look like a smooth, predictable line when market reality is an unpredictable rollercoaster? The truth is your plan isn't predicting your exact future: it's showing whether your strategy will work over decades. In this episode of Plan to Prosper, Logan and Dalton explore why financial plan projections look unrealistically smooth compared to the messy reality of investing. They break down why average annual return assumptions (like 9%) don't mean steady returns every year, how tools like Monte Carlo simulations stress-test portfolios against market uncertainty, and why enduring short-term volatility is the essential price of admission for long-term growth and faithful biblical stewardship. What You'll Learn: Why a financial plan projection is a long-term map rather than a short-term forecast. What an average 9% return actually looks like through real market cycles and downturns. Why market volatility is the price of admission for equity investing. How Monte Carlo simulations stress-test your portfolio across thousands of potential paths.

    When Good Financial Planning Goes Wrong

    Are you saving for ultimate comfort, or are you building wealth that honors God? A successful financial strategy can quickly turn foolish when personal consumption becomes the final goal. In this episode of Plan to Prosper, Logan and Dalton examine Jesus's parable of the rich fool in Luke 12. While society praises building bigger barns and retiring early for self-indulgence, Scripture warns against storing up treasures for ourselves without being rich toward God. The discussion contrasts foolish hoarding with wise biblical stewardship, demonstrating how to save and invest with a heart posture that remains completely dependent on God. What you will learn: The subtle difference between faithful stewardship and selfish accumulation What Jesus meant when He spoke about being rich toward God Diagnostic questions to check your heart posture as your net worth grows How biblical leaders like Joseph modeled long-term planning without greed Why true financial freedom should increase your availability for God's Kingdom Subscribe for future episodes filled with practical tools and timeless biblical wisdom.
