Ideal weekend
Lacra: Something fun on Saturday - festivals, mini golf, top golf. Church and relaxing at home with puzzles and movies on Sunday.
Ean: No cell reception, sitting by the water, fishing, and hiking. A nice dinner with a non-alcoholic cocktail, and a relaxing evening. Church on Sunday.

Relationships

Both extroverts
Charitable giving is important. 10% to church and other gifting as needed - pray-fully consider requests. Have gifted to an Orangutan sanctuary in Borneo, Feed orphans in Ghana, a sloth sanctuary, and family and friends.
Harold the pug
Each other. Ean's parents and siblings. Lacra's parents in Romania.

Goals

Concerns
Lacra: Inflation. Banks collapsing and needing cash on hand. Volatility and not yet understanding how it works.
Ean: Narrative of punish the rich
Observations watching others handle finances
Lacra: Family members in Romania working their whole lives and then money going to the state rather than being there for them in their retirement
Ean: no trust in the government to take care of you in old age. The lesson of the sports car (crushing payment and diminishing returns)
Top accomplishments: meeting and marrying each other. Also Bachelor's degree for Lacra
Retirement spending goals: $10k net/month for fixed and discretionary living expenses and an additional $6k/year for travel
Ean would like to be remembered as a good husband, a good father, and a generous faithful Christian. Lacra would like to be remembered as a kind human.

Values

Describing a rich life
Lacra: I would build a big modern barn for private events on our property, build a dream house, and get a housekeeper for house maintenance. I would travel the world with my family and Harold.
Ean: Travel with my wife and kids and create a place for those around me to make memories.
What's important about money
Lacra: "To feel secure, to cover the needs/necessities plus personal pleasure of life, as well as being able to help people I care for around me"
Ean: "Money is important as it provides a lifestyle and necessities for myself and those I love"
