Emergency Funds Should Be Boring | PowerCore.net

Emergency Funds Should Be Boring

Many parts of my clients' savings plans can be exciting.  Saving for retirement, dream vacations, and goals to create momentum in their overall financial plan; however, their Emergency Funds should be boring. These funds are not for growing wealth, but insurance and risk mitigation against Murphy taking up residence.  The funds should be easily accessible in either a high-yield savings account or money market fund, but separate from other savings to help avoid temptation to use it for non-emergencies. If the funds are used, one of the top priorities should be to replenish the money. Having an adequate emergency fund provides peace of mind and prevents them from going into debt when unexpected “life” arises.  I’m a good referral for the couple who can pay the bills as long as nothing extra crops up. Connect us, and I’ll guide them through the process to plan for “extras” and so much more.

Coaches Get The Update

I am open to sharing the financial struggles my wife and I had with both current and potential clients.&nbsp; This shows that I can empathize with them and understand their struggles. &nbsp;It also shows that we came out much better on the other side.
Do I go through all the details, no.&nbsp; That would definitely be too much information and in some ways very private.

Transparent means nothing is hidden. Transparent is not always appropriate. That’s why there are hippa regulations. Authentic means something is real. Authentic is always appropriate.
&nbsp;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Share the boundary between transparent and authentic in your business.&nbsp;&nbsp;
What is the line you do not cross.

Transparent is not always appropriate. Authentic is.

I enjoy sitting down with Jeff whenever I get the opportunity.&nbsp; He always has a great story to tell, and he is genuinely interested in what’s happening in your life as well.
&nbsp;
He enjoys sports and is an avid football fan, European type, not American.&nbsp; He also loves to play golf, so much so that he joined a club in Scotland and has a company that provides golf experiences for others as well.
&nbsp;
When I asked him about what he is looking forward to in 2024, he mentioned that he’s focusing on helping his clients be optimized in their business.&nbsp; He made the point that most of us have more capacity than we realize.&nbsp; If we think we’re at 100%, likely we have a lot more to give.&nbsp; It’s about optimizing your time to optimize your business.

Growing up in Oklahoma Gerald became a diehard Sooners fan.&nbsp; He has high hopes for their chances to make the Top 4 in the playoffs this year.
&nbsp;
Gerald has an adventurous side, which his wife has had to get used to, but has been slowly coming around to joining in…a little bit.&nbsp; She has been on a couple of short rides on his Goldwing, but nothing too extensive. They are planning a motorcycle ride down to Key West with his wife joining him in Miami so she doesn’t have to endure the full 500 miles on the back of the bike. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
While cruising he enjoys connecting his helmet communications to the bluetooth on his phone, listening to a wide variety of music from rock to classical…but no jazz.&nbsp; This is probably wise, because whenever I put jazz on when my wife and I are riding in the car, she promptly falls asleep.
&nbsp;
He is always trying to increase in knowledge by listening to and/or viewing one podcast or YouTube video every day on Reals Estate, Photography, Videography, along with miscellaneous other topics.
&nbsp;
Today Gerald will be sharing one of the ways he ensures all I-s are dotted and T-s are crossed when you list a home with him, so everything runs smooth.&nbsp;

I’m excited to introduce Tom Wallace.
Tom is a financial consultant who works with families, business owners, and individuals who want more than just investment advice — they want a financial partner. Through his business, Wallace Financial Coaching, Tom helps his clients create clear, value-driven financial strategies that align with their life goals — whether that’s preparing for retirement, building generational wealth, or simply getting a handle on their financial picture.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tom for coffee, and of all the things he told me about himself, the thing that stood out was his personal experience of struggling financially. That gives him a real connection with his clients. That’s where his no-pressure, customer-first coaching-style originates. He takes time to educate his clients, simplify the process, and build long-term relationships grounded in trust and transparency.
&nbsp;
If you know someone who feels overwhelmed by their finances or someone who could use some help with budgeting and planning for the future, Tom’s exactly the kind of calm, knowledgeable guide they need. Please help me welcome Tom Wallace.

Marketing Consultant

After tackling $62,000 of personal debt in just 22 months with his wife, Tom Wallace discovered his passion for helping others achieve financial freedom. What started as facilitating Financial Peace University classes at his church evolved into a full-time mission to prevent others from living paycheck to paycheck in a country of abundance.
When he's not helping clients align their financial goals as couples and eliminate debt, Tom can be found in his workshop continuing his father-in-law's legacy through woodworking. He's become particularly skilled at crafting wooden pens on his lathe. A former meteorologist, Tom still keeps an eye on major weather events, though these days he's more likely to be listening to smooth jazz artists like Acoustic Alchemy while working on his next project.
Tom is an avid reader, with interests ranging from Michael Crichton novels to productivity books by thought leaders like John Acuff and Michael Hyatt. His approach to financial counseling comes from a place of deep empathy, having experienced firsthand how money troubles can strain relationships and cause sleepless nights. Today, he's proud to share that he's helped his own children graduate without student loans and has achieved a debt-free life that he's passionate about helping others attain.

Vein Treatment

It is my pleasure to introduce Tom Wallace. I had not had the pleasure of spending time with Brian until we met Tuesday morning at Starbucks in Newnan. I decided to ask Tom some questions to get a better idea of what makes Tom, Tom.&nbsp;
1. Q. Your biggest regret?&nbsp; A. Initially, Tom stated none, and later in the conversation, he stated getting into debt in the early 2000s.
2. Q. When you were younger, say 12 years old, what did you want to be? A. Since I was eight years old, I have wanted to be a Meteorologist. I was fascinated by the weathermen on TV. (Tom learned in school that he did not have a TV personality). Tom worked in the Airforce for 12 years as a weather officer and later for the National weather service.&nbsp;
3. Q. Who has had the biggest impact on your life?&nbsp; A. My father was an extremely hard worker and worked for the same company for 35 years. The greatest gift he gave me was demonstrating how to love your spouse. If you love your spouse well, your family will be whole, and your kids will thrive.&nbsp;
4. Q. What is your 7-minute talk about?&nbsp; A. The money personalities!
5. Q. What is your favorite meal? A. Pimento Cheese sandwich!
