Given something you don't deserve? | 3rd Level Wealth
Have you ever been given something you didn’t deserve? Was it by a person or an organization?
The primary reason 3rd Level Wealth exists is to help people build wealth and give back. Many people are interested in the former, but it takes a special heart and a level of maturity for the latter. Giving back in response to what has been given to us is a noble act.
One of the organizations some clients of 3LW gives to is called Ripples from the Well. And “Ripples” has a very interesting story from its founder. From a friend request on social media in 2017, to the forming of a non-profit a couple years later, to now an American family selling much of what they own and moving to support orphans in Uganda. It’s a story that inspires. It’s also a story that should motivate us to help.
Not all of us can become missionaries in Uganda. Or start non-profits to solve problems we see in the world. But let us not minimize the impact we can make with a little proactive planning and giving. Let us not be so overwhelmed with trying to solve all of the world’s problems that we ignore perhaps a problem we can solve with one step forwards toward action.
If giving is not part of your financial planning process, then let us help.
- Schedule a meeting.
- Think and list of the ways you would like to give back.
- Work with your advisor to plan and execute your giving strategy.
Listening to the stories of “Ripples” reminds me how much further a dollar impacts the lives of others in foreign countries compared to the United States. And maybe you haven’t given because you don’t think the amount you can give will make an impact. Work with your advisor to determine the impact you can make without it crippling your future.
What organization has been on your mind for a while now to make an impact financially?
What’s preventing you from doing so?
Wouldn’t it be great to get that peace of mind by following through with your plan?

What do you do when you are past the age of 65 for your health insurance? What if you are married? What if your spouse is still working and can add you to their group plan? What are your options and which one is best? What is Medicare A, B, C, D? There is much confusion over health insurance in the United States, especially Medicare.

What is the five year look-back? Imagine working your entire life while accumulating some assets only to have it taken away at the end. Anyone who has experienced a loved one’s end of life care and the difficult decisions that come with may be able to relate. It doesn’t seem fair that a person can work so hard for so long yet end up spending a majority (or all) of their wealth in their final years on healthcare. Home health care, assisted living and long term care can get expensive in a hurry...
Every KPERS employee nearing retirement should at least know about this strategy. It’s called pension maximization. What is it and how does it work? KPERS is what we call a defined benefit plan (or pension). Part of your choice at retirement is selecting which option you’d like to receive in your defined benefit plan for the remainder of your life in exchange for your service as an employee. There are a number of options and it will vary by individual. One of the biggest mistakes I see with...
