In this video I’m laying out my 2026 money goals the way I actually think about them: income, net worth, and expenses—because a single “net worth number” without context is basically financial fan fiction. I walk through how I’m framing FIRE 2.0 in a world that’s changing fast, and why I’m prioritizing systems that keep me honest on cash flow (especially with real estate) instead of just assuming everything will average out. I also talk about the practical side of running real estate like a business: tracking property-level performance, keeping banking clean, and using tooling that makes projections and decision-making less vibes-based. If you’re investing in short-term rentals (or even just considering it), the big takeaway is that your goals have to connect to operations—pricing, expense control, and tax-aware bookkeeping—otherwise you’re just collecting properties and hoping. I share the tools I use and recommend (Baselane, ProjectionLab, AirDNA, PriceLabs, Lodgify, and my own templates) so you can build a setup that supports your 2026 targets without turning your life into a spreadsheet prison.
