006. SME. Financial Planning 101: What They Forgot to Teach Us
Manage episode 488911865 series 3663722
This one’s for all of us who want financial clarity — but aren’t sure where to start, what the terms mean, or if we’re doing anything right.
Today’s guest is Cam, a 26-year-old financial advisor (and my financial advisor) who breaks down what real financial planning actually looks like — not just investments or budgeting, but a holistic overview of everything we need to know.
Together, we unpack the parts of financial planning no one walked us through — and what to do about it now.
In this episode:
- What defensive planning is (and why it matters way more than you think)
- Emergency funds, insurance, and debt
- Good debt vs. bad debt — and how to prioritize what to pay off
- The 4 “drawers” of investing (a helpful analogy for where to put your money)
- 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, and planning for retirement
- Budgeting & saving strategies
If you’ve ever thought, “I make money… now what?” — this one’s for you.
