Sometimes it’s hard to make financial sacrifices when the reward might not be seen until several years in the future. Today we’ll talk about some of the situations where you might be inclined to take the immediate benefit, when you should really consider the delayed rewards

While it might be tempting to use some of your savings for non-emergency purchases or to cash out your retirement plan before your full retirement age, today’s episode is all about strategic decision-making and keeping the long-term vision in mind. Stay tuned as we talk about 5 key areas in financial planning where patience can make all the difference.

 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • Don’t pass up on free money from your employer's 401K match
  • Diversifying savings across different tax buckets
  • Avoiding depleting your savings for non-emergency purposes
  • The impacts of cashing out your retirement plan before you’re supposed to
