382 | Name Your Fear, Control Your Risk

In the week's episode, Brad and Jonathan examine the current state of the housing market and discuss different ways in which risk can be controlled.

It seems like we are currently living in some of the most interesting financial times ever to have occurred. Crypto currencies are seemingly disappearing overnight, interest rates are shooting up, and the inflation rate continues to climb! While all of these examples can cause one to be fearful, preparation and attention to detail are two traits that allow those in the FI community to stay calm! Identify your fears, control situations where you are taking on risk, and continue crushing your journey down the path to FI!
