Should You Change Your Financial Finish Line? with Cody Hobelmann

In this episode of Faith & Finance, host Rob West welcomes back Cody Hobelmann, a Certified Kingdom Advisor and Wealth Advisor at Wealth Squared, to discuss the dynamic nature of financial finish lines. The conversation centers on the idea that a financial finish line—defined as 'how much is enough'—is not a rigid endpoint but a living, evolving goal that should be revisited as life circumstances change. Cody emphasizes that setting a lifestyle finish line brings freedom, contentment, and spiritual clarity, helping individuals prioritize generosity and stewardship over accumulation. He walks through the three key components of determining a finish line: current lifestyle spending, wealth transfer goals, and a conservative margin for uncertainty. The episode also includes practical advice on how to begin, such as a 90-day trial of a financial finish line, and addresses real listener questions about Social Security claiming strategies and Roth IRA conversions. Throughout, the theme remains that financial decisions should be rooted in faith, prayer, and a long-term perspective on stewardship.
