In this episode of Wealth Strategies Unleashed, Robert Gilliland and Karen Heider break down what actually happens when people receive a financial “boost” whether it’s a bonus, raise, inheritance, or major windfall.

Because more money doesn’t fix bad habits, it amplifies them.

Key takeaways from the episode:

  • Why 1/3 of people lose an inheritance within two years
  • The biggest mistake people make of acting too quickly instead of thinking strategically
  • The correct order for handling money
    1. Pay down high-interest debt
    2. Build or top off your emergency fund
    3. Increase retirement contributions
    4. Fund short, mid, and long-term goals
    5. Then spend a little
  • How to treat raises and bonuses differently from one-time windfalls
