Life is Life!

Shootin the Financial S%# is back for a deep yet humorous look at the way we look at money.  
Many studies have shown that we can train our brains to look at situations differently by telling a different story or looking at it from another angle, this is no different with how we look and feel about money and finances. The Shootin crew sits down and discusses different ways to look at our #moneymindset and and how they themselves have evolved over the years. In a year that has been so out of the ordinary the practice of #flippingthescript has never been more important.

Working in the personal finance industry and providing education to others has shown us that there are topics that are regularly missed or misunderstood. Often we can predict the questions people are going to ask before the words even leave their mouths. No more so than in the world of consumer credit. The famous - or infamous, depending on how you look at it - credit report and its close cousin, the credit score. There are many myths that never seem to escape financial misinformation lore.

In this episode, Chase and Felipe discuss the most common myths and bring them full circle to reality. Some are total myths and some are half-truths, but we cover them all!

When most people think of financial planning they think of the stock market, Wall Street, or buying, selling stocks and only for wealthy people. That is all part of it but it isn't the whole picture. It is far more than that and frankly it is and should be for everyone who makes a living and looking for a clear road map to a brighter financial future for themselves, their families and future generations. The problem is people tend to think it isn't for them or , they don't make enough money. Well we aim to simplify financial planning. This week we sit down with a long time volunteer for the SDFLC, a Certified Financial Planner, Paul Lim of The Wealth Consulting Group.

Paul graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a bachelor’s degree in economics and has been recognized throughout his career for both his professional achievements and outstanding community service in the greater San Diego area. His dedication to achieving both personal and professional excellence began early on as evidenced by his being named a “30 Under 30 – San Diego County Leader” by Patch San Diego.
