Today, we're spilling the tea on four horrible client mistakes.

0:11.9

I am so excited about this show because you and I have been doing this for a long time.

0:16.5

And one of the privileges of what we get to do in our day job is help people make sound and solid

0:22.2

financial decisions. But in the vein of making really good sound financial decisions,

0:27.1

we do come across some big mistakes. And oftentimes, there are things we can help our clients with.

0:31.7

And sometimes, there are behavioral things that maybe we can't even help them with. But if we can
