That’s where Yin and Yang can benefit our financial lives. 

In this episode, I’m going over how to use the concept of ...

We often hear about how debt or the lack of a financial cushion can trap us in a cycle of stress, forcing tough decisions that might dig us deeper into trouble. Often, it’s not because we want to but because our finances leave us no choice. What we don’t talk about enough is the flip side: how being debt-free and having savings can open doors to incredible opportunities in life.
