About this episode

Bob and Brian discuss seven financial lies and their implications, along with various financial planning topics.

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down the seven financial lies we tell ourselves—from believing more money will finally make us happy to thinking we can time the market, save later, or figure everything out on our own. They also discuss the financial realities of divorce, why cybercriminals are increasingly targeting seniors and their life savings, how to prepare your spouse to take over the family finances if needed, and critical estate planning mistakes that can create major headaches for your heirs.
