They Want to Cut Their Income By 50%… Is It Possible?

About this episode

The episode discusses financial planning for a couple facing income reduction and upcoming expenses related to maternity leave.

Can starting early really carry you through the messy middle and out the other side? Luis (28) and Kori (28) earn over $200,000 combined, with $151,000 already invested and twins arriving in October. But a 72-month car loan, an emergency fund running short, and three months of unpaid maternity leave on the horizon mean the plan they built for two needs some work before life gets loud. We walk through all of their financial questions and build a plan for their even more beautiful tomorrow. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Jump start your journey with our FREE financial resources⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reach your goals faster with our products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the relationship to the next level: become a client⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe on YouTube for early access and go beyond the podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with us on social media for more content⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bring confidence to your wealth building with simplified strategies from The Money Guy.
