What Could Cost You More Than You Expect in 2026
May 1900:26:25Tap to summarizeMoney PIG Podcast Episode 111What could cost you more than you expect in 2026In Episode 111 of the Money PIG Podcast, host Tim Goodwin and co-host Joe Beckford talk about the “quiet costs” that can sneak up on high net worth families in 2026 — not from the market, but from missed planning, unaligned professionals, and waiting too long to act. Their core message: be intentional, not accidental with your financial decisions.They walk through common planning opportunities people often miss, like Roth conversions, backdoor Roth contributions, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), and more strategic charitable giving using donor-advised funds and appreciated securities instead of cash. They also explain how money “leaks” out through tax drag and simple oversights — like not telling your CPA about a QCD, or creating a trust but never actually funding it.A major theme is how costly assumptions can be. Many people expect the next year to look like the last, but Tim and Joe remind listeners that change is the only constant — especially when laws and tax rules shift. They discuss how proactive planning helps families adapt rather than react.They also highlight the cost of waiting: procrastinating on estate documents, delaying estimated tax payments, or putting off strategic adjustments can lead to real penalties, missed opportunities, and long-term tax consequences.To close, they encourage listeners to review one key area in 2026: the tax “types” of your money. If most of your wealth is concentrated in pre-tax accounts like 401(k)s, it may be time to intentionally build a healthier mix of Roth (tax-free), after-tax, and pre-tax assets — creating more flexibility and tax control in retirement.Bottom line: Don’t do this alone. Coordinate your advisor, CPA, and estate attorney, keep your plan updated, and revisit your “why” so your money supports the life you actually want to live.Resources and next steps:Podcast: Things we do not recommend and why, Part IPodcast: Things we do not recommend and why, Part II Like, subscribe, and enjoy the episode?

May 1900:21:39Tap to summarizeEpisode 110: The Real Cost of Divorce — And Why You Don’t Have to Face It Alone(The Financial Side of Divorce—Because Someone Has to Talk About It)Divorce carries costs far beyond legal fees and spreadsheets. In this episode, we talk openly about the emotional and financial weight people carry—but rarely say out loud—after a major life transition. From the fear of “Is it too late for me?” to the quiet shame of “I don’t even know what I’m entitled to,” this conversation is designed to normalize uncertainty and offer reassurance to anyone feeling overwhelmed, behind, or unsure where to begin.Our advisors share what they see every day: how common it is for one spouse to have handled the finances, why that’s nothing to be ashamed of, and how rebuilding doesn’t start with knowing everything—it starts with having a calm, trusted guide. This episode is about slowing decisions down, creating clarity without panic, and helping people move from fear to confidence, one step at a time. Because rebuilding after divorce isn’t about perfection—it’s about support, perspective, and peace.Resources & Next StepsDownload our divorce planning checklist/guideSchedule a conversation with Joe, who has guided countless individuals through the financial side of divorceAdditional support for women navigating divorce: You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t have to have it all figured out to take the first step.For personalized financial guidance, schedule an intro call with our team at Goodwin Investment Advisory in Woodstock, Georgia.

Transcribe →Lessons learned from people 20 years ahead of you
May 1300:29:38Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Money PIG Podcast, host Tim Goodwin (https://www.goodwininvestment.com/team-profiles/tim-goodwin/) sits down with Joe Beckford (https://www.goodwininvestment.com/team-profiles/joe-beckford/) to explore one of the most clarifying questions in financial planning: What do people who are 20 years ahead of you wish they had done sooner? Drawing from nearly 15 years as a financial advisor, Joe shares a recurring theme he hears from retirees who have both financial stability and inner peace: don’t sweat the small stuff—by getting the small stuff handled early. In other words, when debt, cash flow, saving, taxes, and planning are organized, people are freed up to focus on what actually matters most—purpose, relationships, legacy, meaningful experiences, travel, and time with the people they love.Joe and Tim unpack the habits they consistently see in retirees who feel calm and confident: living below their means, avoiding unnecessary debt, and regularly reassessing what truly brings happiness (not just what looks impressive). They also address the most common regret Joe hears from people in their 60s and 70s: working too long and not retiring sooner. Often, this is because health or energy didn’t cooperate when the retirement they meticulously planned for finally arrived. The encouragement for younger listeners is simple but powerful: make smart choices now so you can move your retirement date up—and protect your freedom while you still have your time and health.The episode closes with two practical takeaways: avoid debt whenever possible (because it makes life harder to “weather storms”), and pursue the passions and work that genuinely matter to you—because life is too short to stay stuck in something that drains your relationships, health, and joy. Joe also recommends Die With Zero (https://www.diewithzerobook.com/welcome) and Choosing to Cheat (Andy Stanley) (https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Cheat-Wins-Family-Collide/dp/1590523296) , and Tim shares how listeners can learn more or schedule a short introductory call (https://www.goodwininvestment.com/contact/) at Goodwin Investment Advisory.If you’d like more insight, read this blog post: https://www.goodwininvestment.com/the-talk-on-money/For personalized financial guidance, schedule an intro call (https://www.goodwininvestment.com/contact/) with our team at Goodwin Investment Advisory in Woodstock, Georgia (https://www.goodwininvestment.com/financial-advisor-woodstock-ga/) .

Transcribe →Episode #108 Wealth Vs Wealthy- The Lifestyle Gap
Feb 300:24:12Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Money PIG Podcast, host Tim Goodwin and guest Joe Beckford unpack a powerful distinction: being wealthy versus looking wealthy. Joe explains that the difference is essentially a mindset—an “intangible” shift from chasing appearances to building actual net worth. Tim and Joe also talk through the “comparison trap”—the constant pull to keep up with the Joneses through bigger homes, newer cars, and lifestyle upgrades. Real, lasting wealth comes from getting grounded in what genuinely makes you happy, recognizing “style drift” as income grows, and choosing intentional habits that protect long-term freedom. The common thread: wealthy people often appear ordinary—because their wealth has a purpose, and their lifestyle choices reflect values, not pressure.Check out our blog and guides page for more resources For personalized financial guidance, schedule an intro call with our team at Goodwin Investment Advisory in Woodstock, Georgia .
