Patience, Spending, and the Path to Building Wealth
Episode 276
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
In this episode of Behind the Wealth, we unpack timeless lessons from one of investing’s greatest minds — the Oracle of Omaha — and connect them with the real financial behaviors and needs of retirees today. Drawing on key takeaways from LPL’s research into Warren Buffett’s philosophy, we explore why patience, discipline, and a long-term mindset are foundational to building and preserving wealth. But smart investing isn’t just about picking stocks — it’s about knowing how retirement dollars actually get spent. We break down the top areas where retirees spend roughly 80% of their income, from housing and healthcare to food and transportation, and offer practical guidance for planning and budgeting through your go-go, slow-go, and no-go years. Finally, we tie it all together with the under-appreciated secret to long-term returns: patience. Investors who resist the noise, stay invested, and let compound gains work in their favor often find themselves on the path to building wealth. Whether you’re years from retirement or already living it, this episode gives you actionable insights to think more like Buffett — and spend smarter, too.

Economic forecasts set forth may not develop as predicted and there can be no guarantee that strategies promoted will be successful. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk. All performance referenced is historical and is not a guarantee of future results. All indices are unmanaged and cannot be invested into directly. There is no assurance that the techniques and strategies discussed are suitable for all investors or will yield positive outcomes. The purchase of certain securities may be required to effect some of the strategies. Investing involves risks including possible loss of principal. Dollar cost averaging involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuations in price levels. Investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing through periods of low price levels. Such a plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Consult your tax professional about eligibility to Roth and Traditional IRA contributions. Contributions and earnings in a Roth IRA can be withdrawn without paying taxes and penalties if the account owner is at least 59 ½ and has held their Roth IRA for at least five years. Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of the conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA. This information is not intended to be a substitute for specific individualized tax advice. We suggest that you discuss your specific tax issues with a qualified tax advisor.
