Welcome to episode #185 of the Debt Free Dad Podcast. If you're in a relationship or
married, and you share your personal finances with your significant other, it's critical 
neither of you is left in the dark about your financial lives. Sadly, relationships don't last,
partners can pass away or get sick and become incapacitated. Both of you should be 
able to pick up the pieces and move forward without the other, but that's not the case in many situations. In today's episode, we will discuss the dynamics of finances in your relationship and what we feel are good practices for every couple.

What You'll Learn

• Are you or your spouse in a position to take over the finances if something happens to the other?
• Discover what you should both know about your financial life. (Many couples miss this!)
• Learn what things you should have in place for all of life's unexpected events.

Welcome to episode #179 of the Debt Free Dad Podcast. We're diving into the fascinating world of human cognition and exploring a concept that profoundly influences our decision-making processes: anchoring bias. Have you ever wondered why our judgments and choices can sometimes seem irrational or skewed? Or why it might be so hard to break free from what you always do? Anchoring bias provides us with a compelling explanation. It's a cognitive bias that affects our perception of information and influences the judgments we make based on that information... and today we are going to share how anchoring bias is affecting your finances, and how it could be keeping you stuck.

What You'll Learn

• Learn how this cognitive bias is possibly keeping you stuck in your current financial mindset.
• Learn how anchoring affects our purchasing decisions and is likely costing you a bunch of money you never realized.
• Discover how anchoring has shaped your current mindset, and why it's so hard to break away from your habits, choices, and money beliefs.
