We talk all the time about what investors should know and worry about…but what should we forget? Today we’re joined by Talking Real Money’s Don McDonald and CFP Katie Brewer from Your Richest Life Planning to get their take on a recent blog post detailing one writer’s opinions. Do we agree? We’ll outline all 10 of the author’s ideas and share one opinion (or maybe two…or five) on each.
Plus, we’ll Magnify Jacob’s Money during our call-in segment. He’s worried about planning for multiple goals. With only so much money to go round, what should he focus on first? And of course, we’ll also share Doug’s National Panic Day trivia.
Enjoy!
