At Black Diamond Money Moves we believe that the tools and strategies you need in retirement, and the attitude of your financial advisor should be different than the ones you would choose when you are...
By applying the Money Moves Of The Ultra Wealthy, we were able to literally double the retirement income for one of our clients. Our client was 70 years old when she came to me...
I want to share with you how we Tripled the retirement income for one of our clients...
Wall Street and the media has convinced most of us that in order to grow our wealth we need to chase the highest rates of return we can get. BUT, when you understand average rate...
The traditional rule of thumb says you can spend 4% of your nest egg each year in retirement in order to make it last. But as you’ll remember from my Black Diamond Protect...
“I’ve done well. I’ve got $2 million saved. I should feel secure. But… why am I still anxious?”
That’s what she said to me.
She had done everything “right.”
Worked hard.
Saved diligently.
Lived within her means.
Followed the traditional playbook.
But now, standing at the edge of retirement, she didn’t feel peace.
She felt fear.
This wasn’t a financial problem.
It was a mindset problem.
From an early age, we’re taught the same script:
Go to school.
Get a job.
Work hard.
Earn a paycheck.
Repeat.
This creates what we call the Paycheck Paradigm.
You trade your time for money—and your income depends entirely on you continuing to show up.
You become the hamster on the wheel, using your effort to keep it spinning.
But when the paycheck stops, so does the wheel.
And with it, your sense of security.
That’s exactly what happened to her.
She wasn’t anxious because she didn’t have enough money.
She was anxious because the source of income—her job—was gone.
She’d stepped off the wheel… but nothing was there to replace her.
For decades, her safety came from a paycheck.
Now she’s retired, the paycheck is gone, and she’s living off her savings.
She’s not spending interest—she’s spending principal.
Every withdrawal feels like a countdown to zero.
And here’s the truth:
Even if she had $10 million, she’d still be anxious.
Because she’s not just losing money—she’s losing control.
She spent her whole life thinking that “enough” would be the solution.
But the fear that drove her to work hard…
The fear of not having enough…
The fear of running out…
It didn’t go away.
Because the problem was never the amount.
It was the mindset.
Here’s what the wealthy do differently:
They don’t work for money.
They put their money to work.
Instead of being the hamster spinning the wheel…
They build assets that spin it for them.
Rental properties
Specially Designed Insurance Contracts
Business income
Tax-advantaged investments
They don’t give up their paycheck when they retire—
They just change where it comes from.
They’ve built systems that pay them whether they’re working or not.
So retirement doesn’t feel like stepping off a cliff.
It feels like stepping into a new kind of freedom.
Here’s the good news:
The shift from being mastered by money to mastering money can happen in an instant.
You don’t need to hit some magic number.
You need to change the way you think.
Because without a Mindset Revolution, no amount of money will make you feel safe.
Your mind will still live in scarcity, fear, and survival.
And when you change your mindset—everything else follows.
You move from:
Consuming capital → to creating cash flow
Hoping for the best → to planning with confidence
Being driven by fear → to living with peace
Money is like fire.
Uncontrolled, it can burn your life down.
But when mastered, it can cook beautiful meals, warm your home, and bring people together.
The financial system is designed to keep the wheel spinning.
The question is—who’s spinning it for you?
If it’s you…
Retirement will always feel uncertain.
But if it’s your assets…
You’ll have freedom, peace, and purpose.
You can have peace in retirement.
You can enjoy the wealth you’ve built.
You can stop being the hamster—and start being the architect.
But first, you have to wake up to the truth:
The fear you feel isn’t because you don’t have enough.
It’s because the wheel stopped turning—and nothing is spinning it for you.
Let’s change that.
