Summary
What would you do if you were sliding backward down an icy mountain at 11 p.m. with your kids in the car? We walk through a terrifying near-miss and the powerful financial lessons that came from it: overconfidence bias, underinsuring your life and disability, and why preparedness isn't fear-based — it's freedom-based. You'll also hear why reflecting on your mortality might actually help you live (and spend) more intentionally. If you've ever found yourself on a slippery slope — literally or financially — this episode is for you. Key moments: (03:20) Why spending on safety, like snow tires or insurance, isn't optional (06:37) No one should live in fear, but we should be better about being prepared (08:39) Overconfidence bias and dangerous financial blind spots (12:52) Balancing long-term savings with living fully in the present There's no one-size-fits-all for wealth.
