The $2 Million Portfolio Plan No Advisor Wants You to See
If you’ve ever wondered how to invest $2 million—or any substantial portfolio—without losing sleep, this episode is for you. I break down a simple, historically backed approach: 90% in stocks (VOO/VTI), 10% in a money market fund (SPAXX). This allocation maximizes growth, keeps volatility manageable, and allows you to spend confidently.

This week we’re tearing apart one of personal finance’s most overused frameworks: the “financial order of operations.”
You’ve heard a version of it before—pay this, save that, sacrifice now, maybe retire someday. The problem? Most of those systems were built by people who either (a) never had real financial stress, or (b) have spent too long in the Dave Ramsey cinematic universe.
