b"How is your thinking plan looking? Is it all clear skies and amber waves of grain? Or is it a pollution-riddled smog alert experienced during rush hour in LA - if it were next to an erupting Mt. Saint Helens? Joining our roundtable is Elaine King, a Peruvian-born CFP\\xae who practices financial planning in Miami. She joins our regular contributors - Paula Pant who is currently located in Manhattan, New York, and Len Penzo who is still somewhere in a bunker below the Los Angeles pollution.\\nThey'll debate what ways we can use to combat the pollution that obstructs the view of our financial future. We'll talk about how we have to be aware of both internal and external sources of financial pollution and how we can combat all pollutant threats - how our mindset impacts our view of finances as well as how external factors do. In addition to cutting/controlling expenses, we dive into how earning more money - and the mindset shift that needs to happen within you - is an important factor in cleaning up what pollution is mucking up your financial outlook. What time pollution sources are impacting your life that, if better handled, could clear up a lot of the smog that blocks your financial future?\\nIn the second half of our discussion, we'll talk about how integrating the right risk-management strategy is one big, often undervalued, way to clean up the pollution that obscures your financial view. We'll talk about what insurances are essential, and what probably aren't worth it. Also, what investments and investment strategies could be adding to the pollution that contaminates your financial view? What about our tax planning strategies? What screams pollution louder than taxes?\\nStick around for Doug's trivia relationship-based trivia when we discuss one big way to pollute the air in your happy union.
