Redefining Financial Stability

#549: Steven is stuck on the question of financial stability. How do you know if you have it? Is there an objective answer based on net worth? Or is it a calculation relative to your income and age?

Former financial planner Joe Saul-Sehy and I tackle these three questions in today’s episode.

Enjoy!
