Jason Parker reflects on his recent trip to Maui and the life lessons it taught him about money and family as he approaches a new phase in life.

I just got back from a trip to Maui with my wife and daughter… and it hit me— My wife and I are about to become empty nesters. For the first time in 29 years… life is about to change in a really big way. And this trip gave me some perspective that I didn't expect… about money, about being present, and about what really matters as we move into the next phase of life.
