Financially Free Era by SLP Wealth

Why Blanket Money Advice Doesn't Work


Listen Later

Ever hear a money rule that sounds empowering… but makes you feel like you're failing when you can't stick to it? Learn why one-size-fits-all financial advice hits so hard on social media — and why it can backfire in real life. We'll walk through common "always/never" money rules (debt, credit cards, investing, homebuying, saving 20%) and I'll show you how to turn those rules into a real plan that actually fits your life, goals, and peace of mind.

Key moments:

(08:57) "All debt is bad" breaks down fast with student loans

(17:45) Credit cards aren't bad — it's the behavior around them that matters

(21:59) Maxing out your 401(k) might not be your best financial move

(28:56) "Save 20%" is a benchmark, not a morality test

(32:33) Why people love blanket advice

There's no one-size-fits-all for wealth. Get the plan that fits you. Try SLP Wealth risk-free!
