Accountant Debunks: The Most Controversial Topics in Personal Finance
Manage episode 494377272 series 1281827
Welcome back to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting honest about the most controversial topics in personal finance. You know the ones—those “hot takes” that get tossed around at barbecues, family gatherings, and across social media feeds, usually prefaced with something like, “Well, my buddy said...”—and before you know it, that spicy advice is burning a hole in your financial future.
In this episode, I’m debunking some of the biggest myths in personal finance, from the renting vs. owning debate to whether all debt is evil, leasing vs. buying cars, if you really need a financial advisor, the realities of the FIRE movement, and the age-old battle between real estate and stock investing.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Renting vs. Owning a Home
- Debt & Credit Cards—Doom or Delight?
- Lease vs. Buy: Car Conundrum:
- Do You Really Need a Financial Advisor?
- The FIRE Movement—Does It Work for Everyone?
- Real Estate vs. Stocks—Which Builds More Wealth?
Plus—hear about the FREE Home Buy vs Rent Tool to get to the real numbers, not just guesswork. (Get it at melabraham.com/homebuy.)
This episode is packed with actionable advice, myth-busting, and a reminder that personal finance is just that: personal. But good decisions are universal, and you never have to go it alone.
