Returning Guest Robert Lettin of Lettin Wealth Management: Part 1

Breaking Down IT with Steve: Financial Freedom and Your Investment Portfolio

Welcome back to Breaking Down IT with Steve! This episode features a returning guest, Robert Lettin, author of “Why Not You: A Guide to Replacing Your Income.” He’s joined by Dean Cambray, the sound editor from Cambray Media whose magic touch keeps the podcast running smoothly.

This episode dives into a crucial concept from Lettin’s book: achieving financial independence. Steve and Robert discuss how to determine the ideal value for your investment portfolio to cover your living expenses.

Here’s the key takeaway:

  1. Calculate your monthly expenses. This is the foundation. Let’s say you spend $5,000 a month, which translates to $60,000 annually.
  2. Multiply your annual expenses by 25. This gives you a target portfolio value. In this example, that’s $60,000 x 25 = $1.5 million.

This $1.5 million target becomes your roadmap to financial freedom. By strategically saving and investing, you can build a portfolio that covers your living expenses, allowing you to replace your income with investment returns.

Lettin’s book, “Why Not You,” provides a detailed guide and even includes a worksheet to help you with these calculations. It empowers you to take control of your financial future and achieve that dream of living comfortably without relying on a traditional paycheck.
