Saving money is a vital part of building wealth, but there are five specific situations where it can actually work against you. Financial Advisors, Brian Preston and Bo Hanson, walk through everything from why 28% of IRA rollovers sit in cash seven years later to how extreme frugality can poison your relationships, running case studies comparing Average Allen and Manny the Mutant to show who comes out ahead. Saving is still a good thing, but you might be surprised by just how much the order of your decisions can change your financial future. ⁠Jump start your journey with our FREE financial resources⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reach your goals faster with our products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the relationship to the next level: become a client⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe on YouTube for early access and go beyond the podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with us on social media for more content⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bring confidence to your wealth building with simplified strategies from The Money Guy.

Are you wasting your money without realizing it? We are so excited to be joined by special guest Erin from Erin Talks Money to talk through the hot topics where we agree, disagree, and yes, even want to fight. From food delivery to sports betting and whole life insurance, there are several places we see people leave serious wealth on the table, and we break down the data for you! We also debut a new game we like to call "Worth It or Waste?" and nobody is holding back. Then we answer your questions about lifestyle creep, FOO Step 8, selling investments for a wedding, and more.

Skylar (23) and Milet (26) are already living like financial mutants. They're saving 25%, maxing Roth IRAs, and sitting on a net worth of nearly $300,000, all while Skylar works three jobs and DIYs 1,800 square feet of backyard pavers on weekends. But the system that got them here might be holding them back from the flexibility they're building toward. We reveal the solo 401(k) opportunity that could save them nearly $7,000 in taxes annually, show why their 457 accounts are perfect for early retirement, and map out how they could reach their more beautiful tomorrow by 50-55, even if they drop to one income with kids.
