Generational wealth gets thrown around a lot and most people hear it and think it's just for the ultra rich. Most of us are just trying to make sure our own retirement is covered, and that's already a real win on its own.

But here's how I actually think about it for my own situation. My goal is to save to a point where I can withdraw four or five percent a year without touching the principal, because market growth covers that withdrawal and the money just keeps doing its thing. The idea is that by the time my son is thinking about his own retirement, he's got that as a head start instead of starting completely from zero. Not a fortune handed to him, just a kickstart so he's not building from nothing the way a lot of us had to.

The tricky part is the other half of this, actually teaching him about money along the way. He's seven. Right now all he cares about is futbol cards and Legos, which honestly isn't that far off from me at forty two either. But the discipline part is what actually matters. Being intentional about saving now, even in small ways, is what builds toward something later.

This is a big part of what I work on with people. Finding where the money's actually going, where there's room to save, getting something invested even if it's small to start. The saying is that the best time to invest was ten years ago. The second best time is today. What you're invested in shifts too, more growth focused when you're younger, more conservative as retirement gets closer.

Family comes first, always. But being able to leave something behind instead of needing your kids to take care of you later is a pretty good feeling, and it starts with the decisions you're making right now.

After Covid a lot of things got thrown into chaos that nobody really planned for. That happened to my family too. Watching my mother have to deal with an unexpected inheritance and everything that came with it wasn't exactly fun for anyone involved. We all like to think something like that won't happen again but the last few years have shown plenty of things happening that nobody saw coming.

For me personally the inheritance situation is pretty simple. I'm a single dad with one son. Not complicated. My parents on the other hand, between them there's five kids and a bunch of grandkids. That's a different level of complexity entirely.

When I think about setting things up so my son is taken care of, it's not just about writing a basic will and forgetting about it. It's making sure everything can move through probate without getting stuck, that it's taxed fairly, and that it actually reaches them quickly when the time comes instead of sitting tied up in paperwork for months. Hopefully that's a long way off, but working with a lot of people who are a bit older than me, it's something I think about, for them and also for myself.

The good part is that with the people I work with, this isn't just a conversation with one person. It's with their wife, their kids, sometimes their grandkids if they're old enough to be part of it. Everyone knows who I am and knows they can call me if something happens suddenly. That's intentional. I'm not just managing one person's money, I'm there for the whole family if things change quickly and somebody needs help figuring out what to do next.

Having seen this first hand, that's the part of this job that actually matters most to me.

We all want to be in the same financial situation as Elon Musk. Maybe not actually be him, but to have that kind of money and that kind of freedom. Hate to break it to you though, that's probably not happening for most of us and it's definitely not happening for me.

What can happen is a decent retirement and being able to help my son out when he needs it. That's the real reason I work and that's the real reason I invest. I'd love to be a millionaire, sure, but the odds are what they are. I'm an ordinary person who cares about his family. I don't want to see my son stress about whether the electricity is going to get turned off or where the next meal is coming from. That's not a huge ask and I'm pretty sure most people reading this feel exactly the same way.

There are a few ways of getting there but the most important thing by far is keeping the money working. Not dumping it in a savings account and ignoring it but actually keeping an eye on it, growing it, making sure it's doing something useful in the background while you get on with your life.

What I've seen working with people over the years is that there's no one size fits all answer to this. It's about finding what works for you and your family specifically. And even if you're in a place right now where you're panicking and feel like you don't have anything to invest, it's still worth sitting down and talking. How to get out of debt, what to prioritize, what an emergency fund actually looks like, what to do if an unexpected windfall shows up. Financial advice isn't just about tax structures and investment products. It's about setting you and your kids up so that later on in life nobody's stressing about the things that shouldn't have to be stressful.

That's what I'm here for.

This week I tried something a little different and walked through how I actually think about my own money. Cash, European markets, structured products, consolidation. The whole point was to show people how I look at things and what actually influences those decisions, since a lot of you only see these posts pop up occasionally and I wanted this week to work as a kind of summary on its own.

So here's where things stand. Spain is up almost 30% this year and over 4% in the last month alone. That's despite the fact that nobody really knows what's happening with the Iran situation or the general chaos going on globally right now. Having something steady like this, growing without needing the huge AI and tech bump everyone else is chasing, says a lot about how good we actually have it here in Spain right now.

I do have some money in tech and AI myself. But I balance it out with steady, more predictable stuff too. I'm not trying to hit a million dollars by tomorrow. I'm just looking to have a decent retirement and give my son a bit of a head start in life, which is honestly what almost everyone I talk to wants too. Being able to afford that drink with the little umbrella on the beach. Knowing your kids aren't going to have to stress about money the way maybe you did.

That's really what all of this is about. Not getting rich quick. Just building something steady that lets you actually enjoy your life and gives the people you love a bit of a head start.

Have a good weekend, enjoy the sun while it's out.

I'm not from Spain originally so I know firsthand what it's like to have financial stuff spread across different countries. It's one of those things that happens gradually and makes sense at the time. You leave a job, the pension stays there. You move countries, you open a new account. Life keeps moving and before you know it you've got bits and pieces sitting in three different places that you haven't looked at properly in years.

For a while that's fine. But at some point, especially if you're planning on staying in Spain long term and retiring here, it starts making more sense to bring things together. That's what I've been doing personally over the past few years. I still keep a bank account in the US for when I visit but my financial life is increasingly consolidated here because this is where my life is and where it's going to be. It makes things considerably easier for my accountant and more importantly it gives me a clear and identifiable path forward rather than a scattered collection of things I'm loosely keeping track of.

The cost argument alone is worth paying attention to. Most financial products charge a flat fee plus a percentage. If you've got two, three, or four of those running simultaneously across different countries those flat fees add up to a meaningful amount every single year that's just disappearing quietly in the background. Consolidating down to one means one flat fee, one percentage, and one place where everything is visible and working together rather than in parallel.

There's also the overlap issue. Multiple portfolios across multiple providers almost always means duplication you don't know about and gaps you can't see because nobody is looking at the whole picture at once.

If you've got pensions or investments sitting in Ireland, the UK, or anywhere else that you haven't looked at properly in a while, sorting that out before summer ends is one of the more useful things you could do for your financial picture right now.

So we've been talking this week about Spain performing well and why it's worth paying attention to right now. But the thing with any market doing well, the worst thing you can do is go all in on it. Over exposure is how people get hurt and it's the opposite of what most people are actually looking for.

The mindset here in Spain around investing is still pretty cautious and after what happened in 2008 it's understandable. People aren't looking to gamble. They want something they can rely on. That's exactly where structured products come into play and why, for me, it's a part (sometimes small, sometimes larger, depending on comfort level) of anything I recommend and part of my own portfolio.

Think of them as a balance against the open market. If Spain keeps performing the way it has been, great, your other investments benefit. But if something unexpected happens, and unexpected things always happen eventually, structured products act as a hedge against that. There are even products that guarantee your original investment back if things don't perform the way you hoped. I can't promise anything and nobody should, but as far as reliable and steady goes these are about as close as you get in the investment world.

You might miss out on some of the bigger gains you'd get going directly into individual stocks. That's true and it's worth saying. But what you get in return is protection. The kind of slow and steady accumulation that doesn't disappear overnight when markets do something crazy, and right now with everything going on globally markets are doing plenty of crazy things.

For people building toward retirement who wants their money working without the rollercoaster, that trade off makes a lot of sense.

Spain is looking really good right now and I think it's still undervalued because most people outside of it only think about tourism when they think about the Spanish economy. That's starting to change. Over the past week some major news sources are finally coming around to the idea that Spain has the potential to make some real waves in European markets and honestly it's about time.

The stuff driving it isn't sexy. Energy, banking, infrastructure. Nobody's talking about it at dinner parties because everyone's focused on AI and tech right now. But here's the thing, most people aren't investing to get rich overnight. They're saving for retirement. They're trying to build something slow and steady that they can actually count on. They're not looking to gamble their life savings on the next big thing. And over the past few months Spain has fit that profile really well. Consistent, measurable gains from solid companies that aren't going anywhere.

The mindset here after the economic crash is understandable. A lot of people have been sitting on cash waiting for something, some signal that it's safe to move. That caution made sense for a long time. What's happening now though is that same caution is causing people to turn a blind eye to gains that are actually happening, steadily and consistently, in Spanish companies that could be doing real work for their retirement picture.

I'm not saying throw everything at the IBEX. I'm saying that slow and steady is exactly what most people tell me they're looking for, and right now Spain is delivering exactly that. The people waiting for something flashier might be waiting a long time.

08/06/2026

I get asked regularly what I'm actually doing with my own money. This makes a lot of sense because people want to see that I can manage my own before letting me manage theirs. So this week I'm going to do something a little different and just tell you, day by day, what I'd be doing right now if I were sitting where a lot of you are sitting.

To start with the most common situation. Cash sitting in a Spanish savings account earning basically nothing while the family keeps growing, the kids keep getting older, and the things you want for them keep getting more expensive. In my case, a new season of futbol with more costs, a new bike perhaps or a new book series. These have come a lot faster than expected, it seems like yesterday my son was four and now he's almost eight.

The ECB has been cutting rates which sounds like good news but actually means that whatever your savings account was paying before is going to get smaller not bigger over the coming months. Cash is already losing ground to inflation in real terms. That trajectory isn't improving anytime soon.

What I'd personally do is stop leaving the majority of it there. Everyone needs an emergency fund so that is non negotiable. In terms of the remainder, I'd look into other alternatives. Not because savings accounts are evil but because there are easy things available specifically for people living in Spain that protect your money, make it work considerably harder, and don't require you to become a financial expert or take on risk that keeps you up at night. Structures that are designed exactly for someone who wants their money doing something useful in the background while they focus on their actual life.

At the end of the day that's what this is about. Not spreadsheets and market analysis. It's about making sure that when your kid needs something or your family wants something or an opportunity comes up, the money is there and it's been working for you the whole time you were busy living your life.

That's what I'd do. Send me a DM and we can have a chat to see if you feel the same.

Friday is here and honestly it's my favorite time of the week this time of year. The sun doesn't set until late, the kids are still outside playing, and there's something about sitting out on the terrace catching up with friends that just melts the stress of the week away.

Think about what you actually talk about on those Friday evenings. Family, weekend plans, what happened over the week. But it almost always includes the stuff that went wrong too. The delay at work, the thing that's been stressing you out, the stuff that's been sitting on your mind. Don't let your money be part of that second category. Have it be one of the good things instead. Using a bit of extra cash to finally fix that thing in the house you've been ignoring for two years, taking your partner out for a proper dinner, going a little bigger on your kid's birthday than you normally would. That stuff feels good and it's what the work is actually for.

That's what this week has been about really. Not complicated financial theory or scary market talk. Just the idea that sorting this stuff out before summer means you actually get to enjoy summer, and that you don't have to do it alone or make it harder than it needs to be.

On the economic side, Spain is in a genuinely interesting moment right now. Growth has been holding up better than most of Europe, tourism is strong heading into summer, and the ECB has been cutting rates which is good news for borrowing costs. But inflation is still sticky enough that cash sitting still is losing ground, and the uncertainty coming from US trade policy is creating enough volatility that having a proper structure in place matters more than ever. The people who have things set up correctly are well positioned for what's coming. The ones who are still figuring it out are leaving something on the table.

Have a good weekend. Let's go enjoy that terrace.

We should be entering full vacation mode right about now. Worrying about suntan lotion and where the cooler is and whether there's enough ice. That's where our heads should be in June.

But there's so much noise in everyone's life these days that actually switching off feels harder than it used to. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲. It's a lot and it doesn't really stop just because the weather got nice.

What a lot of people forget is that they don't have to carry all of it themselves. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁. You go out to eat when you don't feel like cooking. Maybe you have someone come by once a month to help with the house. You take the car to someone to change the oil and check the tires because that's just easier and smarter than doing it yourself.

This is the same idea. Sit down with me, tell me what you want your life to look like, what you want for your family, what the goal actually is. 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁. I figure out the path, I deal with the paperwork and the providers and the moving parts, and I keep an eye on things so you don't have to.

You don't need to do all of this yourself. Nobody does everything themselves. The people who are most on top of their financial situation aren't the ones who spent their summer researching investment products. They're the ones who found someone they trusted and let them get on with it.

That's all this is. Let's talk before summer properly kicks in.
