Episode notes
Fund More Than A Token Emergency
- Build an emergency fund larger than $1,000 to cover real shocks like job loss or medical bills.
- Save several months of expenses rather than relying on a tiny cushion.

- You don't need opinions on every investment; waiting for the right opportunities raises your hit rate.
- Treat your lifetime investments like limited swings and choose them carefully.

- Avoid wasting money on lottery tickets and discretionary bets with near-zero expected return.
- Redirect small, frequent losses into consistent investments instead.
