In this week’s episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, shares a cautionary tale about the hidden costs of do-it-yourself investing. With relatable personal stories and real client experiences, Darryl explores the traps that DIY investors often fall into - missed opportunities, tax missteps, and emotionally driven decisions - and explains why having a trusted advisor can make all the difference.

Whether you're confident in your own financial abilities or know someone who insists on doing it alone, this episode offers a practical, grounded look at why experience, emotional discipline, and guidance matter when navigating your financial future.

Show highlights include:

  • What happened when a client chose DIY over working with an advisor.
  • Three qualities a successful DIY investor must have.
  • Common (and costly) DIY mistakes Darryl has seen firsthand.
  • Why advisors act more like copilots and river guides than stock-pickers.
  • A powerful reminder about the role of compounding and proper strategy at any age.
