The Golden Handcuffs Stress Test
Your company may have helped build your wealth. How connected is your financial life to it today?
Tech professionals may accumulate vested shares, future equity awards, income, benefits, and career exposure that are connected to the same company. This stress test is designed to help you explore where those pieces may overlap.
Company Stock
Explore how much of your financial picture may be connected to a single company or stock.
Future Equity
Consider how future RSUs, options, or other equity awards may affect your overall exposure.
Income
Consider how much of your household’s financial picture may depend on the same employer.
Liquidity
Explore the financial resources and flexibility you may have outside of your employer.
What the Stress Test Helps You Explore
A starting point for identifying areas that may deserve a closer look.
- How much of your financial picture may be connected to your employer.
- Areas you may want to review before a future vest, sale, or career decision.
- Questions involving company-stock concentration, liquidity, and potential tax considerations.
- Financial decisions that may warrant additional planning or professional review.
Why I Built This
Company stock is rarely just an investment decision.
I work with tech professionals whose careers and financial lives can become significantly connected to one company.
The difficult part is often not recognizing that concentration exists. It is understanding how company stock may fit alongside cash needs, potential tax considerations, family goals, career decisions, and other parts of your financial life.
I built the Golden Handcuffs Stress Test as an educational starting point for exploring those connections.
