And if the first week is any signal, there’s already a lot to unpack.   We talk through some of the stories shaping the early part of the year—what’s happening with housing and affordability, why mortgage rates are moving, what the latest jobs data may actually be telling us, and how energy prices and geopolitics are quietly influencing everything from inflation to investment strategy. AI is also front and center again, from the massive energy demands behind it to the companies driving the next phase of growth, including names like Nvidia, Tesla, and Eli Lilly.   This episode is about grounding. New years tend to bring bold predictions, loud headlines, and a lot of strong opinions. We focus instead on how we’re thinking about 2026 in real time, what deserves attention versus what’s just noise, and why staying patient and disciplined often matters more than trying to react to every market move. We also share some early expectations for the year and what we’ll be keeping an eye on as things develop.   For educational purposes only. This podcast is not financial, tax, or investment advice.

Ep 54 | 2025 Stock Market Recap and Our 2026 Market Predictions

And yeah, we also hit some of the names that kept stealing the spotlight like Tesla, Amazon, and OpenAI, not just for the hype, but for what those stories might actually mean.   But the real reason we wanted to do this episode is simple. 2025 was one of those years that tests people. The market swings, the headlines get loud, and it’s really easy to start second guessing everything. So we get into the mindset piece, how we think about staying disciplined when it feels messy, why trying to jump in and out usually ends with regret, and how the moments that feel the worst in real time are often the ones you look back on as opportunities and we look ahead to 2026 and put some predictions on the record.   For educational purposes only.

Ep 53 | How to Manage Money as Married Couple with Tricia Welsh, CFP
Whenever you're ready, we can help you in one of two ways: Take our free financial health assessment: https://www.foxhillwealth.com/financial-health-quiz Join us in our free Wealth Wisdom Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/wealth-wisdom-collective   DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment, tax, or legal advice. Past market performance is not a guarantee of future results. Always consult with a financial professional before making investment decisions.   Follow along at: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fox-hill-wealth 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foxhillwealth 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FoxHillWealthManagement   This week we take on a topic that affects nearly every couple at some point: money and marriage. It’s one of the most important — and often most difficult — conversations to navigate. Should couples keep finances completely separate, merge everything into joint accounts, or build a hybrid system that balances shared responsibility with personal autonomy?   We’re joined by Trisha Welsh, Certified Financial Planner at Fox Hill Wealth, who brings a practical, real-world perspective from working directly with couples on these decisions. Together, we walk through the most common financial setups couples use, why different models work for different relationships, and why trust and transparency matter far more than the specific account structure.   We also explore a dynamic that shows up in many households: while women often manage the day-to-day expenses, fewer are consistently involved in long-term planning and investing — even though women are statistically more likely to manage finances later in life. We talk through why that gap exists and what couples can do to make sure both partners stay informed and confident.   Along the way, we touch on current events shaping the financial landscape — including the Fed’s latest rate cut and other market headlines — before closing with clear, practical advice for couples who want to stay aligned and avoid financial surprises.   We get into: The three most common approaches to managing money in marriage: fully merged, fully separate, and hybrid models How trust and transparency influence long-term relationship outcomes How couples navigate unequal incomes, parenting, and shifting household roles Inheritance, assets brought into marriage, and when formal agreements may make sense What “financial infidelity” looks like and why it matters Why both partners should attend key meetings with financial advisors and estate planning professionals Simple habits that help keep communication strong without turning finances into a source of conflict A special thank you to Trisha for joining us and sharing her experience working with couples on some of the most important — and sensitive — financial decisions they’ll ever make. Her perspective added clarity, balance, and practical insight to a conversation that affects so many families.TIMESTAMPS:01:55 Breaking News: Streaming Wars and Market Moves 05:23 Financial Insights: Fed Rate Cuts and Economic Impact 09:16 Corporate Moves: SpaceX IPO and Disney's AI Partnership 11:20 Main Topic: Merging Finances in Marriage 27:10 Client's Experience with Financial Advisors 27:32 Women and Financial Planning Statistics 28:22 Role of Women in Day-to-Day Finances 29:15 Communication Differences Between Genders 31:34 Involvement of Both Partners in Financial Planning 37:19 Different Financial Management Models 42:00 Financial Infidelity and Its Impact 44:24 Encouraging Women's Involvement in Long-Term Finances

Ep 52 | Should I Invest in the Stock Market Right Now?
Whenever you're ready, we can help you in one of two ways: Take our free financial health assessment: https://www.foxhillwealth.com/financial-health-quiz Join us in our free Wealth Wisdom Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/wealth-wisdom-collective DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment, tax, or legal advice.

Follow along at: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fox-hill-wealth 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foxhillwealth 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FoxHillWealthManagement   The market keeps hitting record highs — so should you actually be investing right now?   In this episode of Wealth Wisdom, we tackle one of the most common (and emotionally loaded) questions we hear: Is it too late to get into the stock market? We break down why waiting for the “perfect dip” usually backfires, how fear shows up during sudden drawdowns, and what a smart long-term strategy looks like when stocks feel expensive.   We also run through a handful of fast-moving headlines shaping sentiment right now — from a major streaming shakeup to the AI arms race heating up again — and bring it back to the core point: building wealth isn’t about nailing the perfect moment. It’s about staying invested, managing risk, and sticking to your plan when markets get noisy.   If you’ve been sitting on cash waiting for the “right time,” or you felt that gut-punch panic during the year’s biggest selloffs, this one will help you zoom out and make clearer decisions.   We get into: 📈 Why markets are often near all-time highs — and why that shouldn’t stop us ⏳ Time in the market vs. timing the market (and what history says about both) 🧠 The emotional side of investing — why we’re wired to make the wrong move at the worst time 🔄 Dollar-cost averaging vs. investing a lump sum 🧺 Diversification, valuation risk, and why being “all-in on tech” can be dangerous 💵 What weaker jobs data can mean for rate cuts — and why stocks sometimes rise on “bad news” 🤖 The AI race (Gemini vs. OpenAI), “code red,” and why there’s no loyalty in AI tools right now 🟦 Why Google remains a major long-term player — and where the real risks still show up (ads, downturns)   TIMESTAMPS: 01:35 Spotify Wrap-Up and Listener Appreciation 02:55 Stock Market Insights and Predictions 06:44 Netflix Acquires Warner Brothers Streaming Unit 10:54 AI Wars: Google vs. OpenAI 19:18 Is Now a Good Time to Buy Stocks? 20:41 Market Conditions and Investment Strategies 21:39 Debating Market Valuations and Bubbles 24:23 Timing the Market vs. Staying Invested 30:43 The Role of Analysts and Research in Investment Decisions 32:10 Google's Position in the AI and Tech Market 37:33 Conclusion and Upcoming Topics

NVIDIA delivered another monster earnings report, demand for AI chips looks stronger than ever, and yet… the stock still sold off. Then a jobs report hit, rate-cut expectations flipped almost instantly, and markets were all over the place.   Meanwhile, gold has quietly become the top performer of 2024. Central banks are loading up, the U.S. dollar is slipping, geopolitical tensions are rising — and a lot of investors are wondering whether this is a real long-term shift or just another spike driven by fear.   If you’re trying to make sense of gold’s 50% run and want a grounded look at whether it belongs in your portfolio heading into 2025, this episode’s for you.   We get into: 🥇 Why gold has surged 52% YTD — and what’s actually driving the move 💵 How U.S. debt, money printing, and dollar weakness factor into the story 🌍 The role China, Russia, India, and other central banks are playing 📉 Why crypto and other high-risk assets have been getting hammered 🤖 NVIDIA’s blowout quarter, AI demand, and the “AI bubble” debate 📊 What the latest jobs data means for rate cuts and the broader market 🔄 How to think about gold as part of a long-term wealth strategy   Timestamps:  00:15 A Night at the Theater 02:05 NVIDIA's Blockbuster Earnings 02:39 Gold's Meteoric Rise 05:18 The AI Boom and Market Trends 09:23 Job Reports and Economic Indicators 14:41 The Surge in Gold Demand 20:30 Theories on Gold and Cryptocurrencies 20:54 Stable Coins and Gold Backing 21:22 Costco's Gold Bars and Retail Trends 23:38 US Debt and Gold Prices 24:55 Gold as an Investment Asset 31:58 Quantum Stocks and Market Trends 35:37 NVIDIA's Market Dominance 39:34 Conclusion and Upcoming Topics

Follow along at: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fox-hill-wealth 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foxhillwealth 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FoxHillWealthManagement This week on Wealth Wisdom, Matt Morizio friend of the pod and Founder of Reconstructing Wealth — joins us to unpack one of the biggest questions of the week: is the proposed 50-year mortgage actually a solution to the housing affordability crisis or does it make things worse?   Nearly 75% of American households can’t afford a median-priced home, the cost gap between renting and buying has exploded, and a new wave of ideas — from ultra-long mortgages to portable loans — is hitting the national conversation. Matt brings a refreshingly honest perspective on how these proposals stack up against real math, real emotions, and real financial planning.   We dig into why buying a home has become so difficult, what a 50-year mortgage would actually change, and whether stretching payments for half a century helps buyers… or banks. Then we zoom out to the broader economy — from the Fed’s latest rate decision to the trillion-dollar cost of the government shutdown — and how all of it ties back to housing, investing, and volatility in the market.   We get into: 🏡 Why 75% of Americans can’t afford a median-priced home 📉 How the cost of buying has surged far beyond the cost of renting 📊 What a 50-year mortgage really saves per month — and why it adds $389,000 in interest 🔁 The idea of a “portable mortgage” and whether it could work in the U.S. 💸 Why most homeowners never stay 30 (let alone 50) years in one home 📉 How investors emotionally react to market drops — and how advisors bring them back to reality 🏦 The Fed’s latest move, market volatility, and what “no December rate cut” triggered 🏛️ The economic impact of the longest government shutdown ever 📈 Teaching younger generations to invest earlier — and why the stock market’s long-term returns matter 🧠 Warren Buffett passing the torch and the timeless lessons in his final letter   A huge thank you to Matt for joining us and sharing his insights on housing, investing, and how to navigate the emotional side of money in today’s unpredictable market.

Is College Still Worth the Cost? | Episode 39
Whenever you're ready, we can help you in one of the following ways: Take our free financial health assessment: --> Click here. Download our financial white paper --> Click here. Join us in our free Wealth Wisdom Skool Community --> https://www.skool.com/wealth-wisdom-collective Schedule a free consultation and see if it makes sense to work with us. --> Click here.College costs are soaring, student debt is piling up, and a new generation is asking: is a four-year degree still worth it? In this episode of Wealth Wisdom, we're diving deep into the ROI of a college education and exploring why a new generation is reconsidering the traditional path. We kick things off with this week’s headlines: Is AI in a bubble? We discuss a recent 15% drop in Palantir’s stock and whether it signals a tech bubble burst. Bill points out that with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the seven hundreds, Palantir's valuation is "insane". Inflation & The Fed: We talk about the latest CPI and PPI reports, discussing why inflation remains a concern even with a potential 25 basis-point rate cut from the Fed. Retail Rivalry: We highlight Walmart's strong performance, especially in groceries, contrasting it with Target’s recent struggles and a CEO change. The ROI of College: Is It Still Worth It? 🎓 With an average of $39,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower, we break down the financial reality of higher education. Financial Benefits: Only 52% of Americans who attended college say the financial benefits outweighed the cost. The Alternative Path: A surprising 70% of teens report their parents are open to them exploring alternatives to college. The Trade School Advantage: We argue that while a four-year degree can lead to a higher average starting salary, trade schools offer a much higher earning floor with less debt. A self-employed plumber, for example, can charge upwards of $300 an hour in some areas. We shine a spotlight on one of our portfolio companies: Uber.  We dive into the company's bold move to partner with major players like Waymo and Lucid to launch a fleet of 20,000 robo-taxis within the next six years. Profitability & Growth: The company is now profitable, boasts a healthy $7 billion in annual cash flow, and recently announced a share buyback. The Driverless Future: We discuss the potential for this move to revolutionize the ride-sharing industry. Early data shows no drop in demand for regular rides in cities where robo-taxis have launched, a promising sign that the technology will complement, not cannibalize, the existing business. As always, if you got value from the episode, be a friend and share it with one. We'll see you next Friday!

We dig into: 💸 The return of 100% bonus depreciation, what it means and how to actually use it 🏡 Opportunity Zones 2.0: why this could be huge for real estate investors 🧾 SALT deduction cap jumps from $10K to $40K (yup, four times bigger) 👶 The new “Trump Accounts” for kids are they a smart savings tool or just a political flash? 🚙 The truth about writing off that SUV (spoiler: it’s not as easy as Instagram says) Before we dive into the bill, we hit this week’s headlines: 📈 The Fed holds steady (again), but inflation isn’t done yet 🇪🇺 Trump signs a trade deal with the EU—plus rebate check rumors?? 📉 Amazon stock drops post-earnings while Meta and Microsoft crush it 💰 Bezos sells $5.7B in shares—smart tax move or prepping for Mars? And to wrap it all up, we spotlight one of our portfolio names: TJX Companies (aka TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods). We’re up nearly 90% on it, and there’s a reason why. From “the treasure hunt” shopping model to weathering online retail and inflation, TJX continues to prove it's more than just a bargain bin play.
