From emotional decision‑making to refinancing traps, 401(k) withdrawals, and the power of sticking to financial principles, Larry explains why seemingly harmless habits can compound into long‑term consequences. He also sheds light on the importance of building a realistic spending plan, understanding your emotional biases, and knowing when to seek professional guidance. This conversation helps listeners rethink the true impact of everyday financial choices.
