Key takeaways from the episode:
Build up both a personal cash cushion and a business cash cushion. Your business cash cushion should cover at least 2-3 months of expenses, and your personal cushion should cover 6 months of living expenses.
Then, prioritize paying off high-interest debts first before investing or paying off low-interest debts. Those high interest loans are going to rack up a ton of interest over time, so the sooner you eliminate that liability, the better!
While it’s important to plan for retirement, don’t forget to consider investments you can access before retirement age if you need to or want to. Real estate, franchises, or digital products are a few examples that can generate income short term and long term with little to no effort from you.
