Ep 11 - The 3-Step Framework for Solving Any Financial Problem (That's Actually Worth Solving)


Listen Later

Have you ever said, “I’m just bad with money”?

Yeah—me too. But what if the real issue isn’t your spending or saving or investing strategy... but your ability to name the actual problem in the first place?

This solo episode is a follow-up to last week’s conversation with CFP® Victoria Ferguson, and it’s all about creating a personal framework that helps you stop spinning your wheels and finally make meaningful progress in your financial life.

You’ll learn:

  • Why most people never get past step one in solving their money problems
  • How to stop drowning in to-do lists and prioritize the right thing
  • A new lens for filtering financial advice (and spotting BS in a sea of influencers)

🔍 Whether you’re overwhelmed by credit card debt, unsure how to retire, or simply tired of feeling like you’re doing everything but getting nowhere, this episode gives you the tools to:

✅ Name the problem
 ✅ Prioritize the problem
 ✅ Solve the problem—without getting lost in the noise

Plus:

  • What Warren Buffett’s 25-5 Rule has to do with your finances
  • The Latin origin of the word “priority” (spoiler: it was never meant to be plural)
  • Why vague financial advice is like shopping at Costco while hungry
  • And how smoke alarms at 2 a.m. taught me more about problem-solving than any spreadsheet ever did

If you want clarity, confidence, and a simple way to move forward in your financial life—this episode is for you.

🎯 Don’t just solve problems. Solve the right one.
