The Crucial Financial Conversation Everyone Needs To Have NOW and Brand New Money Rule
When was the last time you talked to a family member or loved one about your finances? Wes shares an important financial conversation warning that stems from a tragic and immediate crisis. Wes explains how a simple, 30-minute conversation could have prevented weeks of crippling anxiety – and what you need to do ASAP to prepare yourself and your family. Also, there’s a brand new money rule of thumb: The 0.01% Rule. Clark's listeners are famous for their frugality, but Wes argues there's a tipping point where we spend too much energy worrying about small expenses. This mathematical rule helps you decide when to open your wallet without regret.
