Priority score combines dollar impact, urgency, and confidence. Filter by lens to see which findings come from which financial perspective. Topher + Jaime: travel and family are protected — only debt, rewards, cashflow, and behavioral suggestions ever show "cut" actions.

Combined retirement ~$482K · trajectory is healthy

Topher's Fidelity 401(k) ~$337K (8.8% YTD) + Jaime's ~$144K (6.8% YTD) = ~$482K combined. Both fully consolidated to the Synchrony plan at Fidelity. On track relative to household income; ramp room exists once 401(k) loans clear.

Ongoing wealth · confidence: high
Next step: No action — track quarterly; revisit contribution rate after Jaime's loan clears.

Jaime's 401(k) loan finishes ~12 months · ramp contribution rate after

Jaime is paying her 401(k) loan back at ~$34K/yr — 3× faster than Topher. At current pace she clears it in ~12 months and frees up $2,870/month. That's a windfall when it lands: contribution rate ramp, emergency fund top-up, or extra paydown on Venmo Visa / Lafayette.

Next step: Set a calendar reminder for May 2027 — decide where the freed-up $2,870/mo goes BEFORE it lands.

3-yr household income trajectory: $395K → $419K → ~$445K

Synchrony paystubs confirm year-end gross income: 2024 $395K · 2025 $419K · 2026 projected ~$445K. Up and to the right consistently. The business-building thesis (grow income to retire debt) is working at the W-2 level — and that's BEFORE Aspire Digital adds material income.

Next step: Watch the trajectory · the marginal increase year-over-year is what funds the debt paydown without lifestyle changes.

BoA 0% balance transfer · log the end date

The BoA card is carrying $10,920 at 0% — a balance transfer promo. The methodology says approximately 1 year but the exact end date isn't captured. If the promo expires and the balance is still there, interest rate jumps to ~28% and this becomes the new top paydown lever.

What we figured out

Findings that were either confirmed harmless, explained by household behavior, or otherwise put to rest. Kept visible because the underlying patterns are still useful context.

✓ Resolved — the $88K Venmo flow is CC payment routing

Per Topher 2026-05-19: Jaime pays him via Venmo, he applies that payment to the Venmo Visa credit card. Workaround for ACH delays (Venmo-app payments hit the Venmo Visa instantly vs. 5-day ACH posting). So the $88K in 'POS DEBIT VENMO' transactions is debt servicing, not discretionary spending.

✓ Resolved — monthly USAA → MTC transfers are envelope-system bill funding

Per Topher 2026-05-19: USAA account 1269 is 'MTC' — the joint monthly-bills envelope. Each month $3,000–$3,800 transfers from 'Gone in 60 Seconds' (7683) to MTC to fund recurring bills. Variable amount because bills vary. Not a sweep, not brokerage proceeds — it's Topher's Dave Ramsey envelope system at USAA.

3The six lenses

Multiple perspectives on the same numbers

Different financial-thinking traditions optimize for different things. The dashboard tags each insight with which lens it's coming from so cross-lens disagreement is visible. The Venmo Visa is the canonical example — debt and CFO lenses both flag it, but for different reasons.

  • debt Debt discipline — reduce interest, kill balances, build momentum
  • cfo Personal CFO — cash flow, net worth, liquidity, forecasting
  • lifestyle Lifestyle-aware — protect what matters, cut what's drifting
  • behavioral Behavioral coach — nudges, weekly habits, simple steps
  • wealth Wealth building — net worth growth, retirement trajectory
  • rewards Rewards optimization — use credits, choose right card, never let interest wipe rewards
