Ben Felix: The Problem With Saving 10% of Your Income

Ben Felix has one of the few personal finance channels I watch. Chief Investment Officer at PWL Capital, he also co-hosts the Rational Reminder podcast. We discuss the finance ‘rules’ to avoid, why human behavior makes us bad investors, and the questions you need to ask if you want your money to support a better life. Ben also opens up about his cancer diagnosis earlier this year and how it’s changed his perspective. 💬 Do you have a money story you'd like to share on the podcast? ⁠https://makingmoney.email/listener-story-form 🤝 Want 1:1 financial help from us?

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
