Welcome to the Building Your Money Machine Show! In this episode, we're getting brutally honest about one of the most important tools in your wealth-building arsenal — your 401(k). After three decades as a CPA, I've sat across from every type of earner you can imagine. High rollers living paycheck to paycheck and modest folks with six-figure balances—I've seen it all. And you know what? How you use your 401(k) says a whole lot about what your future's really going to look like.
Today, I’m breaking down the five types of 401(k) holders. Yep, you’re one of them (and if you're brave enough to find out which, hit play). Spoiler alert: it’s not about hitting some magic number. It's about building a life on your terms, with financial stress in your rearview mirror.
This is money mastery without the shame, fluff, or fancy jargon — just real talk about what it takes to get your money machine running in the direction that actually matters to you.
IN THIS EPISODE, I COVER:
- Why building wealth isn’t about the number — it’s about the life you actually want
- The 5 types of 401(k) holders (and how to know which one you are, no judgment)
- The single move that could be costing you thousands in free money every year
- How your identity and behaviors around money shape your financial future — way more than your paycheck
- Breaking out of autopilot and reclaiming control (no more financial sleepwalking!)
Ready to find out which 401(k) driver you are — and how to actually use your money machine to fuel the life you want? Hit play, subscribe, and join me on the journey to financial freedom, my friend!
