Today's Man Alive podcast guest, William Matthews, is the
author of three books, including Financial Lessons Learned
From My Broke @$$ Friends. He brings lightness, humor and
practicality to the financial domain, to help you make smart
decisions with your money.
It's important to be current with yourself about how you're doing with money these days. Are you making as much as you need? Are you saving for your future? Do you have a clear sense of a financial plan in the short and long term?
Money is one of the greatest causes of stress people face. It's stressful on its own and then navigating it with a romantic, or business, partner magnifies that stress.
Having clarity and plans with your finances reduces stress and allows you to strategize and navigate out of financial hardship. But most of us never learned how to create this clarity! Most education, at least in the U.S., does not include financial literacy.
