There’s no shortage of financial advice available today, and much of it sounds confident, compelling, and even logical. But one of the biggest mistakes CRNAs can make is assuming that widely shared advice automatically applies to your situation.

The truth is, personal finance is exactly that: personal.

In this episode, Jeremy and Sharon dive into some of the most popular financial advice circulating today, from Robert Kiyosaki’s investment strategies to Dave Ramsey’s retirement withdrawals. They break down the risks, the myths, and the assumptions that these pundits often overlook and discuss what really works for most people.

Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:

💡 Not all financial advice applies to your situation

⚠️ Extreme strategies (high leverage, 8% withdrawals, all-cash reserves) can backfire

🧠 Personal finance is more about behavior than knowledge

🏠 Renting vs buying depends on math AND emotions

📊 The best financial plan is personalized—not copied
