Which of the 3 Financial Phases Are You In?
Which of the 3 Financial Phases Are You In?
by: Kelli Kiemle, AIF® April 11, 2022
Knowing which of the financial phases of life you are in can help you better plan to build, protect and enjoy your assets, no matter what your age.
Every year we see the same months, holidays and seasons – it’s all pretty predictable. While you may not know when a winter storm will hit, you can usually count on chillier weather come winter. The same can be said for financial phases. While not always easy to predict, you can find patterns if you look for them.
But how does knowing a financial phase pattern help? When it comes to financial planning, the answer is a lot.
What Are Financial Phases?
There is a natural ebb and flow to money habits throughout the year. For example, most of us tend to spend more around the holidays because of gifts and parties. When January hits, people take a look at their budget, set goals for the year and attempt a financial diet. The same can happen in the summer as people splash out on vacations or enjoy a plethora of activities with their families.
Patterns can also occur throughout, showing up in spending and savings habits. Recent college grads probably live on a tight budget with less savings, whereas an established professional might be more focused on long-term goals, such as buying a home or saving for retirement.
Is It The Same For Everyone?
While the year can offer similar periods of spending and saving, each individual has their own plans, priorities and habits that make them unique. If you enjoy saving, maybe you take vacations during shoulder seasons to take advantage of lower hotel and airfare prices or you sign up for a credit card (of course, paying it off every month) that supports your travel habit – think free rooms, reduced flights, etc. Or if you always go big on your birthday each year, you create a plan to automatically save money every month into a “birthday fund” so when the time comes each year you’re ready.
The same is true when looking at life patterns or saving and investing. If you land a well-paid job out of college, perhaps you spend more lavishly than the average early 20-something would. Or someone who joined the FIRE movement would contribute to their retirement and save differently since they have a different goal. It’s important to understand that each person has their own goals and priorities, and sometimes life gets in the way with unexpected obstacles.

Ariel: What is Not Feasible for Iraq
10-17-2026
In My Opinion- What Is Not Feasible For Iraq
Iraq cannot formally submit a credible, WTO-compliant 2027 budget using a phantom program rate (1,310) that nobody not the IMF, not the World Bank, not their own central bank governors believes reflects economic reality.
A budget denominated in a currency that has no operational international Forex rate is a fiscal fiction. It cannot be audited. It cannot be stress-tested.

Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi confirmed on Thursday that the cabinet formation is complete five months after the government was formed, stressing the commitment to implementing the government program's priorities and responding to the aspirations of Iraqis.

Why Are Central Banks Buying So Much Gold in 2026?
Published: 10-05-2026 De-dollarization is the gradual shift by central banks away from holding the US dollar as their dominant reserve asset. In practice, that usually means adding gold and other currencies instead. In 2026, this shift stopped being a theory investors had to take on faith.
Specifically, it is now a documented pattern, visible in the World Gold Council’s own survey data and in the IMF’s own reserve statistics.

For a lot of Americans, the beachfront condo has become unattainable. In Naples, Florida, the median beachfront condo on the market is listed at about $2 million. And that’s before factoring in condo fees and skyrocketing insurance costs.
Now compare that to an apartment we found during research for members of our flagship service, Plan B Confidential, in João Pessoa, a midsize beach city on Brazil's northeast coast.

Chapter 4: Bank creation of money
I'm going to show you how these banks create the dollars, create the money supply, and how that in and of itself creates a tremendous amount of demand for dollars and treasuries.
What we have is a debt based monetary system. I'm sure you guys have heard that term before. And essentially what that means, whether we like it or not, is money or currency, whichever term you want to use, is really debt.
