Most people think they’ll figure out investing later.
The problem is, later gets expensive.
In this episode, we sit down with Cameron Ridgeway from Petersen Hastings to break down the biggest financial mistake people make in their 20s and why waiting to start investing can cost you more than you realize.
We talk about why time is your biggest advantage, how compounding actually works in real life, and what happens when you delay even a few years. From Roth IRAs to 401k contributions and employer match, this episode simplifies what you should be doing right now to set yourself up for the future.
We also get into the psychology behind why people wait, how lifestyle choices impact long-term wealth, and how to build a simple plan that works for your real life.
If you’ve ever thought “I’ll start later,” this is the episode you need to hear.
