Ep 234. Maxed Out, Cashed Out, Burned Out: The Wealth Mistakes I Keep Seeing19 Sep 202500:22:24

Too many people assume maxing out a 401k is always the smartest move. But what if it isn’t? In this episode, Certified Financial Planner™ David Chudyk breaks down three common financial mistakes he sees in his wealth management practice:

  1. Over-contributing to 401(k) plans without thinking about liquidity.
  2. Misunderstanding risk — either by avoiding it completely or chasing unrealistic returns.
  3. Blurring the line between business and personal finances.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to align your money decisions with your real goals, avoid costly pitfalls, and grow wealth with confidence.

Key Takeaways


  • Why maxing out your 401k might backfire if you lack accessible funds for opportunities or emergencies.



  • The hidden risk of “no risk” — inflation quietly erodes cash sitting in savings or CDs.



  • The return trap — chasing sky-high growth can be just as harmful as being too conservative.



  • Business owner warning: Stop treating your company like an ATM. Put yourself on a salary and plan for taxes, expenses, and growth.



  • Accountability matters — isolation leads to poor decisions, but advisors, peers, or mentors can provide the guardrails you need.

  • 12:10 – Liquidity, taxes, and why other buckets of money matter



  • 18:44 – Risk vs. rate of return: why both extremes can be dangerous



  • 28:55 – How risk tolerance shifts as you age



  • 37:22 – Business owners and the danger of mixing business/personal money



  • 47:10 – Free tools and resources you can use right now



  • 51:05 – Bonus thought: why financial isolation leads to bad decisions



Free Tools & Resources Mentioned
Bonus Thought 💡

From David’s Friday morning men’s Bible study: Isolation leads to bad decisions. When it comes to money, don’t go it alone. Surround yourself with wise counsel — advisors, mentors, or accountability partners — to avoid costly financial missteps.

Ep 233: Turning Bricks into Cash with Archie Johnson12 Sep 202500:25:12

Your home is often one of your largest assets—but how do you actually use that equity to improve your lifestyle, reduce financial stress, or create a safety net? In this week’s episode, host David Chudyk, CFP®, is joined by Archie Johnson of Mutual of Omaha Mortgage to explore how retirees and high earners can strategically access their home’s equity.

They break down how tools like the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) can eliminate mortgage payments, provide a line of credit, and even help buffer against market downturns. This strategy can free up cash for travel, family support, long-term care needs, or simply enjoying retirement without financial worry.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode


  • ✅ Why home equity is often an untapped piece of your net worth.



  • ✅ How retirees can eliminate monthly mortgage payments without draining their investments.



  • ✅ The role of home equity in protecting against sequence-of-returns risk during market downturns.



  • ✅ Real-world ways clients have used freed-up cash—travel, family gifts, long-term care, and more.



  • ✅ The FHA’s protections and counseling requirements that ensure retirees make informed decisions.



  • ✅ How HECM loans differ from traditional mortgages and what happens when a borrower passes away.



  • ✅ The flexibility of using home equity for both refinancing and purchasing a new home.



Key Quote from Archie Johnson
“For the right person, a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage can be life-changing. It’s not about debt—it’s about freedom, flexibility, and creating options in retirement.”

Episode 224: Breaking Down the Big Beautiful Bill: What You Need to Know11 Jul 202500:23:53

As always, please contact me to connect. Whether it's to chat about this week's podcast episode or anything else on your mind: David's Calendar

Takeaways:

  • The Big Beautiful Bill is a massive 900-page law that includes tax reforms and spending changes.
  • One major change is the extension of the 2017 tax cuts for individuals, which helps many taxpayers.
  • Seniors will benefit from an additional $6,000 exemption, providing them with more tax relief.
  • Another key point is the introduction of a tax credit for contributions to scholarship organizations.
  • The standard deduction has increased by 10%, making it easier for many to reduce their taxable income.
  • It's crucial to consult with a CPA for tax planning to maximize benefits from the new law.

Ep 135: BACK TO SCHOOL: Why your kids might end up being poor.11 Aug 202300:17:15

If you are like me, you have children and you want them to be financially successful and have minimal financial stress. This episode talks about some ideas that schools should implement into their curriculums and, if they don't then parents should teach their children these concepts.

1. Personal accountability - we have a lot more control over our financial successes (and failures) than we might think that we do. Our decisions matter.


2. Basic financial literacy - we should all know what the basic financial tools are and how to use them to our benefits.


3. Income - expenses MUST equal greater than zero. In addition to spending less, this topic talks about how we can all increase our incomes.


4. Be very careful about college decisions - if you must borrow money for school, make sure that you are picking a career that offers the earning potential that will allow you to pay off the loans.

Whether you are new to business ownership or have been in business for decades, your BUSINESS insurance is one of the most important, albeit, least interesting pieces of your financial puzzle.

In this episode we talk about the basics of insurance terms such as:

1. Indemnity

2. Risk retention, risk avoidance, risk transfer, and risk reduction.

3. Certificates of liability

4. Additional insureds.

Most importantly, it is incredibly important that you are working with a competent insurance professional who can advise you of what some of your risks are and how to cover them (or retain the risk, if you choose).
