In this episode, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the factors that impact financial success, focusing on the location and liquidity of wealth. They explain that most people have two buckets of money: savings and retirement accounts. However, they emphasize the importance of having a midterm bucket, which provides liquidity and flexibility for life events and goals. They discuss the characteristics of each bucket and the need for balance and tax efficiency. They also introduce the concept of true liquidity, which involves having money in a separate account that is not correlated with the market. They provide examples and calculations to illustrate the benefits of having a midterm bucket and true liquidity.
