Summary

Budgeting – less about rigid restrictions, more about changing mindsets on using income effectively. Today's guest shares a different approach to financial planning: one that focuses less on restricting spending and more on creating intentional systems that help clients save automatically and use their income more effectively.

David Mozeika is the founder of TOMORO, an RIA based in Red Bank, New Jersey, that oversees $350 million in assets under management for 600 client households. In this episode, David explains how his "income under management" philosophy helps clients treat cash flow as an asset, using a "cash flow reservoir" system to separate spending from saving and reduce unconscious spending habits. We also talk about his four-part financial positioning framework, how he approaches ongoing client meetings as a calibration process rather than a static plan review, and how leaning into his unique strengths ultimately shaped the growth of his firm.

that oversees $350 million in assets under management for 600 client households. What's unique

0:44.9

about David, though, is how he approaches financial planning from a cash flow perspective,

0:49.5

treating income as an asset to be distributed based on a client's goals. In this episode, we talk in depth about how David treats cash flow planning, not as a budgeting exercise, but rather as an opportunity to default clients into saving rather than spending, how David uses what he calls a cash flow reservoir to hold client income.

1:06.1

With a portion of the reservoir transferred to the client's checking account for spending, frequently leading to greater

1:11.0

savings than transferring extra cash from the checking account to savings or investment vehicles,

1:15.9

and how David's approach helps clients reduce their unconscious spending, such as on subscriptions

that they might not use often, and supercharge their savings.

We also talk about David's four-part financial positioning process, which includes

protection, growth, estate planning, and cash flow, and the milestones he wants to hit when meeting

with prospects, how David treats meetings with ongoing clients as a forward-looking calibration

process based on changes in their financial situation, and how David puts an emphasis on defense

in the planning process, digging

deep into clients' insurance policies to ensure their coverage is commensurate with the growing

wealth they achieve over time. And be certain to listen to the end, where David shares how he

created his own software solution to run his income under management cash flow planning system

and began to offer it to other advisors. Why David made the transition
