Zen and the Art of Better Money Decisions

Published: June 19, 2023, 8 a.m.

b'Does picking the right investments, avoiding debt, or saving for goals stress you out? To most of us -- even the best savers -- stress is a reality, and just part of the "game" of money. Michael Gilmore, the Seven Dollar Millionaire, says that it doesn\'t have to be that way. Today he\'s on the show to teach us how Zen philosophy can help us relax, unwind, and still reach our financial goals (and maybe while living a better life).\\nIn our headline segment, there\'s LOTS of money sitting in cash right now, according to new data out. We\'ll share why sitting in cash might be a huge mistake, and also why trying to time "the right investment" is equally as dangerous. Plus, in our TikTok minute, we\'ll share a video shared by a listener about ONE financial measuring stick you might not have considered. Would it make sense to pay more attention? We\'ll share.\\nOf course, Doug shares trivia and there\'s much, much more.
