Summary
On this week’s Best of Simply Money podcast, Bob and Brian unpack the seven most common financial lies we tell ourselves – from “I’ll be happy when I have more money” to “I’ll figure it out on my own.” These aren’t just small white lies; they’re deeply emotional narratives that can quietly sabotage your financial future. Whether you're navigating lifestyle creep, market timing fears, or generational silence around money, this episode helps you recognize these self-deceptions and replace them with smart, actionable advice. Plus, tips for protecting your finances through divorce, estate planning updates you might have missed, and the growing threat of elder cyber scams.
