If the word investing makes your palm sweat, you are not alone.

This is where most people freeze up.

But I want you to stay right here with me because I promise this episode isn't about confusing charts or Wall Street jargon.

Thank you. You're listening to everyone's talking money, the show that's all about making life richer, from your bank account to your mindset and everything in between.
