Ever trusted the bank to handle your money, only to find out they completely messed it up? That’s precisely what happened to Rich Lennon.

In this episode, Rich shares the #1 mistake people make with banks: assuming they’ll get it right. He walks through a real story where a simple wire transfer turned into a mess because no one followed through and no one cared. From fat-fingered account numbers to days of silence, this is a wake-up call to take full responsibility for your money, no matter who you hire to help. If you’ve ever felt let down by a bank, this one’s for you. Listen in and learn how to avoid the simple mistakes that cost Rich time, money, and peace of mind.
