Sacrifice To Win

Jade Warshaw and Rachel Cruze answer caller questions on a range of personal finance dilemmas: the fear of being responsible for a spendthrift parent, what to do with a 100-ounce gold inheritance, the regret of taking a 401(k) loan to pay off credit cards, repeated financial lies from a spouse, and running out of money for divorce lawyers. Throughout the episode, they reinforce the theme that short-term sacrifice is essential for long-term financial peace.
