April 03, 2024 Ep 55 - Should you buy at all time highs in the stock market?

Would your portfolio be better off if you even bought at the peaks?
Today, we reveal what the data says about buying at the top and talk about practical strategies to overcome this fear so you don’t miss the boat regardless of highs or lows in the stock market.

January 31, 2024 Ep 46 - So are you guys trying? The social pressures of having kids and changing the culture around it.
Welcome back to another episode of Your Everyday Rich Podcast!
In Episode 46, join us for an intimate living room conversation as we unpack the social dynamics and pressures surrounding the decision to have kids.
From the constant barrage of questions about when baby #2 is coming to the expectations of eager grandparents, we navigate the intricate web of societal expectations. Delve into the intriguing rise of DINKS, where the choice to live a child-free life is explored as both a lifestyle and financial decision.
We dive deep into the emotional aspects of deciding to have kids, shedding light on the shifting norms that prioritize career over parenthood. Explore the harsh realities of maternity leave as a potential career roadblock for women, forcing them to make challenging decisions between professional growth and starting a family.
Our conversation touches on the financial hurdles of raising children and the emotional roller coaster that accompanies pregnancy (and trying to get pregnant), childbirth and parenting. We also address the complex topic of fertility, debunking myths and challenging unfair blame placed on women for infertility.
Join us as we share personal stories and insights into overcoming the challenges of parenthood, highlighting the ability to look back and appreciate the journey. We cap off our discussion with a bold prediction about the future of human reproduction.
Throughout this episode, we advocate for a more empathetic understanding of the challenges and societal pressures related to having kids. Our key takeaway: there's never a "right" time to have kids, so let's collectively dispel the unnecessary pressures and embrace the unique journey each individual or couple takes.
Why do these conversations matter? They matter because these convos are happening behind closed doors and we want them to be front and centre so you can be empowered to achieve financial, personal and family success.
