Does Everyone Need Financial Advice?
Does everyone need the kind of comprehensive financial planning advice that people like Chris and Sandi offer their clients? We think not…and spend some time revisiting last season’s finale about being the ones to encourage open conversations about money with people who (we bet you a thousand dollars) are just dying to talk about it without shame.
You can help make Because Money happen for as little as $1 a month through Patreon. You can also support the show by listening, sending us questions, and giving us those pretty gold stars on iTunes.
