Behind the Numbers: Time is Money! The Opportunity Cost of Your Choices, With Lauryn Williams and Chloé Moore

Worth Listening with Lauryn Williams

Welcome to Round 2 of the “Know Better, Do Better” series born from the countless conversations two CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, Lauryn Williams and Chloé Moore, have about the trendy narratives and clickbaity articles that make it hard for them to help their clients. They will take you behind the numbers with real-life examples of financial situations to help you gain confidence and clarity to control your financial destiny.

Are you considering the opportunity costs of your decisions? Maybe lifestyle creep is keeping you in the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. Are you about to turn 40 and haven’t started saving for retirement yet? Or maybe you have sticker shock over hiring a financial planner, so you’re trying to DIY your financial plan.

Time is money, so Chloé and Lauryn share the areas you need to pay attention to so it doesn’t cost you much more in the long run.

In this episode, Lauryn and Chloé talk about:

• How to fight lifestyle creep so you can save more with each raise

• Why you want to start saving for retirement as soon as possible

• The impact of compound interest on your retirement savings

• How DIYing your financial plan can cost you a lot more than working with a financial planner

• The ways a financial planner can help you save money and optimize your finances
