Nothing is worse than feeling regret.

And this is even more so when it comes to your investments or plans for your retirement.

In this episode, Wes tackles the topic of regrets and how to avoid them in regard to your investments and retirement plans. He explores common past investment mistakes and the importance of having a plan in place and listening to experts.

  • The importance of taking action and having a plan in place to ensure success and avoid regrets
  • The greatest financial risk during periods of recession or inflation is making misinformed and poor financial decisions

  • And more!
