Trent answers:
Chapter 2 - Planning Diligently and Living Below Your Means
- In Chapter 2, you discuss the importance of self-assessment and identifying blind spots in one's financial journey. Can you share some common blind spots that people tend to overlook, and what strategies do you recommend for effectively addressing them?
- You emphasize the need for written financial goals and regular reviews of progress. Could you elaborate on how tools like the "life balance wheel" and SMART goals have influenced your personal and professional financial planning, and how readers can effectively implement these tools in their own lives?
Chapter 3 - Eliminating Reductive Debt and Building Your Savings
- In Chapter 3, you describe your personal journey of starting an accounting business and the challenges you faced with debt. Can you elaborate on how your experience influenced your perspective on the importance of eliminating reductive debt and building savings?
- You mention the distinction between reductive and productive debt and how leveraging debt intelligently can increase net worth. Could you provide some practical examples or strategies that readers can use to distinguish between these types of debt and make informed financial decisions?
"Most people’s experience with car loans is that they’re very costly... you’re just better off not even having that kind of debt." — Trent Benedetti
