FI Minded: Achieve Financial Independence & Have Fun Doing It

Money Moves That Sound Smart…But Aren’t (Part 2) | E173


Listen Later

Some money moves sound smart…until you actually try them.

This is Part 2 of our special series where six personal finance experts share strategies that sound smart but rarely are. In this episode, you’ll hear from:

  • Larry McMahon (Uncontrollable Me) on why doing everything yourself can be a costly mistake
  • Sean Mullaney (FI Tax Guy) on when Traditional 401(k) contributions might not be the best choice
  • Jeremy Schneider (Personal Finance Club) on why whole life insurance is rarely the financial win it's pitched to be

Missed Part 1? No problem - each episode stands alone, but you’ll want to go back and queue it up next.

Key Takeaways:

  • DIY-ing everything can limit your growth and lead to costly errors
  • Traditional 401(k) contributions aren’t always the most tax-efficient route
  • Whole life insurance rarely lives up to the hype
  • Even experienced money nerds make mistakes—and learn from them
