People hate talking about debt, disability, death, and divorce. And that’s exactly why we need to have a discussion about these four topics.

In today’s show, Doug and his son, Efraim, discuss these difficult subjects.

Debt

When people acquire a large debt, and then suddenly get a large sum of money (inheritance or a raise), should they invest the money or pay off their debt? Listen to learn why paying off all your “bad” debt may be a better move than investing in the stock market..

Disability

Is disability insurance necessary in today’s post-corona work environment when many folks work remotely from their house? Young people especially need to understand that if they get hurt, not only do they stop providing income to their household, but they are also an ongoing expense.   

Divorce

Divorce not only affects the couple’s relationship, but its ripple effects are felt in many areas, including finance. Since divorce isn’t something you wish or plan for, it’s not something you want to have a part of a financial “plan”. Stick through the second half of the show to hear what Doug has to say about it.

Death

While debt, disability, and divorce may be avoidable, death isn’t. Listen to hear Doug’s advice about when you don’t need life insurance and what to do after someone dies.
