rich and REGULAR: Imagining Your Worst-Case Scenario
How much wisdom is in the old saying, “plan for the worst, but hope for best”? In this episode, Julien and Kiersten Saunders (@richandregular) argue against our cultural staple of indefinite optimism. There is now enough data to suggest that most working-age American’s financial forecast should include plans for a sudden job loss or significant disruption income. Nobody likes to imagine the worst case scenario, but it may be the key to building financial resilience. We cover: Income volatility and the probability working-age American’s income is likely to be disrupted The most vulnerable demographic groups for wage stagnation What the ‘Two Income Trap’ is How to practice pessimism in the short-term and the long-term Full show notes and resources can be found here: www.richandregular.com/listen Connect with us in the Success Achievers Community where we host monthly training on a range of topics!
