How rigid are your money habits? What will happen when your “optimized” financial situation comes crashing down because you didn’t think about what could possibly go wrong in the future? Beyond that, does the stuff we own, own us or set us free? How can we strive to be more financially flexible and what strategies can we use to get there? Those are some great questions and today we’ll answer them all, because today our roundtable discusses a piece about financial flexibility, both philosophically and practically. Andy Hill from Marriage Kids and Money joins Paula and OG to share their favorite tips and hacks to help you become more financially flexible.
We’ll also hear some of Doug’s book related trivia, and it’s all from our live recording from the Fireside app!
