Show Notes

Studies by the Federal Reserve show that 60% of Americans only have an average of $400 set aside for emergency funds. When emergencies requiring more than $400 come around, it can lead to debt or the selling away of properties. For Mark, this typical financial plan is insane. To get out of this loop, ask: "What do you want your money doing for you?" Where you put your money makes it act differently.

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why do you need to examine your rainy-day funds during good times?
  • What attracted Mark to become a CFP?
  • "Rich people plan for four generations; poor people plan for Saturday night."
  • The everyday things that hold people back from a sustainable financial future
  • Procrastination is actually wisdom!
  • …and so much more
