If you’ve ever thought you should see a financial advisor, but also wondered if it's a now or later thing… this one’s for you. We’re chatting about that stage so many of us sit in. You want to do the right thing with your money, but you’re not sure whether a financial advisor makes sense for your current situation. We talk through when financial advice can really help, when it’s probably not necessary, and the other ways you can get clarity without spending a small fortune. Then things turn into a moral mine field... What do you do when you’re watching a situation unfold that doesn’t sit right with you, and you don’t actually have the authority to fix it? This week we dive into a DM from someone who’s deeply worried about a dog that’s been injured, emergency care paid for, but follow-up vet visits that keep getting pushed back. It opens up a really uncomfortable conversation about caring more than the person responsible, where the line is between helping and overstepping, and how hard it is to sit with concern when the final decision isn’t yours. Plus, as always, we’ve got community money wins, broke tips that are actually useful, and the kind of Friday chat that reminds you you’re not alone in any of this.
