Real Personal Finance

Are You Saving Money in the Right Order?


Listen Later

We all know we should probably save some more, but when we pass the piggy bank phase and have larger amounts of money, things get a little more complicated than just dropping some coins every once in a while. In this episode of Real Personal Finance, Scott and Nick get into a little detail that most people skip: “where” and “how” matter as much as “how much” when it comes to saving.

Key takeaways:

  • The emergency fund is not optional; it’s the foundation of saving
  • The 401K match is free money you shouldn't leave behind
  • Sequence matters: there’s a smart way to allocate money
