Ep 191: Rethinking Emergency Funds for modern times

rich & REGULAR with Kiersten and Julien Saunders ·

2024/12/09

Ep 190: Is 'buy and hold' still relevant?

rich & REGULAR with Kiersten and Julien Saunders ·

2024/12/02

We took a mini-break (and you KNOW we needed it) but we're back, and today we're tackling the sacred cow of financial planning: BUY AND HOLD. Let's face it, investing isn't a spectator sport and the pandemic proved that even the most "set-it-and-forget-it" advice can get messy. Plus research shows investors are holding stocks for less time than ever before. So this week, we’re asking if the classic "buy and hold" strategy is still the cornerstone of financial wisdom, or has the rise of d...
