Summary
The tagline of RPF is "...living a rich life now..." But it's hard to LIVE a rich life if you're dead.
So I'd like to help you--and others--have a higher potential of staying alive.
I have looked and looked for practical responses to the recent school shooting and have found very few.
This is my best effort to help you with some practical solutions to the problem.
I did my best in today's show to keep it free of politics and free of guns. (To be fair, I think it's best to say it's politics-lite and gun-lite.)
Give it a listen. Even if you are frustrated by the current gun debate, I think you'll find some useful, practical ideas to help you defend your own life and the lives of others--even in a non-permissive environment.

| 0:00.0 | Here at Radical Personal Finance, there are two themes that I consciously continually |
| 0:07.0 | explore with you in various ways and using different methods as seem practical to me at the time and those themes are |
| 0:14.7 | living a rich life now and then building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years |
| 0:21.1 | or less. When I built that tagline, which you hear in |
| 0:23.7 | probably 70 to 80 percent of the shows where I lead off by giving you that tagline, |
| 0:28.5 | I was very intentional about it because it expresses what I want to talk about. It gives you some ideas but it also gives me as a host of this show a |
| 0:38.8 | pretty wide degree of latitude that wide degree of latitude keeps me coming back to do the show for you, say |
| 0:46.1 | three days a week at the moment. Because if I just can't come and talk to you about IRAs or life insurance every day. I couldn't do this. I really couldn't. I don't make enough |
| 0:57.2 | money doing a podcast to interest me in doing that. I'd go back and make millions in commissions and fees if that were what I wanted to do. |
| 1:05.0 | So I need that creative license. |
| 1:08.1 | I do think that the show has been a little light on specific tactics and nuts and bolts on finance the last few months. |
| 1:15.0 | I have the intention of changing that. |
| 1:18.3 | Discussion on why it hasn't changed yet is unimportant for today's show. But in the vein of discussing issues that are important, |
| 1:26.2 | that are practical, especially that relate to your having and living a rich life, I think this week |
| 1:32.3 | we're going to merge a little bit of current events |
| 1:35.7 | with some practical discussion. Certainly over the last week and a half our nation here in the |
| 1:40.9 | United States of America has been rocked by the most recent |
| 1:45.2 | shooting in South Florida here where I live. The Parkland community is relatively close to me |
| 1:51.3 | and it certainly had an impact here in the local discussion but I think |
| 1:55.8 | more importantly our country is being rocked by this discussion and of course that |
| 2:01.6 | has an impact on you and on me and on your finances and on my finances and our ability to live together in a culture where we all see and understand different things. |
| 2:10.0 | We all have different perspectives, different opinions, |
