What Should I Do With My Money?

Working to Live, Is It Working?


Listen Later

Christine is approaching 30, with half a million dollars in potential value from the equity awards given to her by her company, a good income and the freedom to work from anywhere in the world. While spending most of her money on travel, food and life experiences is fulfilling, Christine is feeling pressure to plan more for the future.

Her family and friends are pushing for her to buy a house, but she isn’t sure she’s ready to be tied down with that much responsibility. Talking about money and financial planning with her parents wasn't part of Christine’s upbringing, so she’s searching for guidance on how to plan for right now, and for the future. Should she trust advice she hears from social media influencers?

That’s where Jason, a Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor, comes in. Listen in as he helps Christine figure out if she can continue to have adventures and still plan for her future.
