    They also discuss options for veterans and their SGLI, the growing apathy for the next generation and more!

    12:38 - Don’t assume you need banks

    14:46 - Inflation, interest rates

    18:40 - Unlearning the short-term mindset for money

    23:42 - Unlearn that your choices are “either/or”

    28:48 - Unlearn: Life insurance premiums are an expense
