How do you become Dave Ramsey? You invest a certain way…and it isn’t the way Dave Ramsey tells you to invest. We welcome Joshua Sheats to the show from Radical Personal Finance to talk about becoming wealthy. What does it take? What does that mean for concepts like diversification, risk and insurance planning? We’ll cover all of those.
Of course, to honor Joshua, we have a LONG episode today, packed full of fun. In the headlines we’ll tackle the reason executives DON’T hire people (it’s not what you think). We’ll handle a great call about changing investments on the Quotacy hotline, and tackle more on Roth IRAs, diversification and the movie the Big Short. Whew! But that’s not all. We have more headlines, trivia and the big “so what” like the cherry on top of the show at the end of the episode.
