September 30 Let’s Play Financial Would You Rather…. Live From Fincon
Join us live from Fincon 2026 in Palm Springs- where we are mixing things up a bit for a game of “would you rather?” and finishing up with a round of “red flag or green flag.”
Just a few of the questions we dive into:
Would you rather be anonymously wealthy or publicly successful but have much less money?
Would you rather spend freely on everyday conveniences or save that money for one major luxury?
Would you rather lend a family member one thousand dollars or say no and risk damaging the relationship?
And don’t miss the discussion around investing or paying off a 3% mortgage!
Equal parts ridiculous and enlightening come hang out with us and see how your answers stack up to fellow money nerds.
