The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom With Steve Short and Mark Schlipman
Manage episode 507390838 series 2431232
Most of us are taught algebra in school, but not how to manage a paycheck, save for retirement, or avoid credit card debt. That’s where Steve Short and Mark Schlipman come in.
In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis is joined by Steve Short and Mark Schlipman, co-authors of The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom: A Guide to Building Wealth and Independence. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership and financial advising experience, Steve and Mark share how their book helps readers — especially Gen Z and young professionals — gain confidence, clarity, and control over their money.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why financial literacy is still missing in schools—and how to fill the gap.
- The 50/20/30 spending model, and why saving should come before “wants.”
- How small, consistent steps (like automating savings) build lifelong wealth.
- Why defining your personal version of financial freedom is more important than chasing a big number.
- And more!
