Today, Carol Dewey reveals how procrastination — whether with taxes, investments, estate planning, or your business exit — can quietly become the most expensive mistake of your financial life. In this powerful episode, Carol uncovers how the illusion of “later” erodes wealth, confidence, and peace of mind, and what you can do now to stop paying the hidden price of waiting.
