Pointe Perspective - Why Money Feels So Hard (And Why Its Not Your Fault)

Why Modern Money Feels So Hard (And Why Its Not Your Fault)

Every client I meet tells me the same thing:
“My parents never taught me about money.”

What’s often overlooked is that modern financial systems - retirement, investing, credit - are still relatively new. Many of us are navigating them for the first time, end to end, while managing careers, families, and long-term responsibility.

In this week’s Pointe Perspective, I explain why that context matters — and how understanding it changes the way we approach financial decisions.

In this discussion, we cover:

Perspective on Modern Money
Why today’s financial systems feel overwhelming, and why that isn’t a personal failure.

Market Context
How experienced professionals interpret volatility without emotion, and why short-term movement shouldn’t derail long-term plans.

Economic Insight
What economics actually studies, how it applies to everyday decision-making, and why understanding incentives matters more than predictions.

Strategic Focus
How to approach financial goals one step at a time, starting with defining what success actually looks like.

This Week’s Takeaway
A simple, thoughtful exercise to clarify your immediate, short-term, and long-term goals before building an action plan.
