What happens when you retire… and then unretire just four days later?

In this episode of That Financial Guy, I tell the true story of Jim — a 64-year-old IT professional who thought he was ready for retirement until a surprise tax bill and market dip sent him back to work by Tuesday.

We’ll walk through his short-lived retirement and unpack the three key lessons that could save you from the same fate:

• Why retirement isn’t just a math problem
• How tax diversification can make or break your income strategy
• And the hidden risk of withdrawing in a down market

Whether you're a few years away or already retired, this episode offers real talk, real numbers, and a reminder that confidence without planning can be costly.

In this episode of That Financial Guy, I’m doing something a little different. I’m pulling money lessons from some of the most iconic characters in pop culture — Seinfeld, The Office, and Star Wars.

Yep, I went there.

What can George Costanza teach us about emotional investing? Why does Michael Scott’s idea of bankruptcy make the perfect case for financial literacy? And what does Anakin Skywalker’s impatience have to do with long-term wealth building?

I’ll walk you through:

• Why following your emotions is a terrible investment strategy
• How financial education (even the basics) can change everything
• What it means to adopt a Jedi-like mindset when it comes to money
• And how to build a financial plan that doesn’t go full Death Star

This one’s fun, a little nerdy, and surprisingly packed with actionable advice. So whether you’re a fan of sitcoms, space battles, or just want to get better with your money — give it a listen.

Are your financial decisions really based on logic — or are they being shaped by deep-rooted beliefs you don’t even realize you have?

In this episode of That Financial Guy Show, financial planner Keith Wilson explores the concept of money scripts — the unconscious money beliefs formed in childhood that influence how we save, spend, invest, and plan for retirement. You’ll learn about the four most common money scripts: Money Avoidance, Money Worship, Money Status, and Money Vigilance — and how they impact real financial behavior.

Whether you’re working toward financial independence, preparing for retirement, or just trying to understand your relationship with money, this episode will help you gain clarity and confidence in your financial life.

🎧 Listen in as we bridge the gap between financial psychology and smart planning — because understanding the why behind your money habits is just as important as the how.
