#182: Millions of smart, educated and successful people make dumb mistakes with their money ... and they don't realize it.

I'm not talking about obvious dumb mistakes, like spending 85 percent of your income on a fleet of Ultra-Luxe-Fancymobiles for your 16-car garage. That's clearly a bad idea.

Instead, I'm talking about hidden dumb mistakes that you may not realize until it's too late.

Perhaps you don't have enough insurance, or you hold the wrong types of policies for your age and life situation.

Maybe you don't have an estate plan, or you haven't updated your estate plan after your childbirth or divorce or remarriage.
