Ready to outsmart the latest financial fads and futureproof your family’s well-being? This episode of Dollar & Sense is packed with candid truth and practical guidance you won’t want to miss. 

We pull back the curtain on the buzz around private equity—why are financial giants suddenly pushing these investments, and what’s lurking in the fine print? Discover the hidden risks, high fees, and pitfalls most investors overlook, plus learn how to spot red flags before your savings get locked away. If you want to stay a step ahead of Wall Street, this is essential listening. 

But there’s more: As Alzheimer’s and dementia diagnoses rise, protecting yourself and your loved ones is more crucial than ever. We share real-life stories and direct advice on the four areas every family must address—from legal docs to money management, home decisions, and digital safety. Make sure you’re prepared before life throws you a curveball.
