That cash sitting safely in the bank might feel reassuring—but what if it’s quietly costing you money? In this episode, the conversation breaks down what “lazy money” really is and why savings accounts, CDs, and other ultra‑conservative holdings can struggle to keep up with inflation and taxes. Mark explains how too much idle cash can erode purchasing power, even when balances appear to be growing. The discussion explores balancing liquidity with growth, common misconceptions about risk, and how overlooked tax consequences factor into long‑term planning. It’s a practical look at how emotions, comfort, and financial decisions intersect—and why understanding where your money sits matters more than most people realize.
