Knowing how to manage your money and make it last is essential in any financial plan. And while putting cash aside might seem ‘pretty easy,’ there are necessary steps for managing your own (without sabotaging your retirement funds).
Whether your goal is to save for your next trip, buying a new home, or even “just to have cash on hand,” you can still live the life you want today while ensuring your income for tomorrow.
In this episode, I discuss why financial planning doesn’t have to be ‘all or nothing’ in your budgeting - and how the right strategy protects your portfolio for decades to come.
