Episode 3320: ESI pulls back the curtain on his biggest financial missteps, from reckless early spending to investing in high-fee mutual funds and getting burned by an uninsured bank. With hard-earned humility and clear-eyed reflection, he shows that even serious money mistakes can still lead to long-term success, offering listeners a reassuring reminder that it’s never too late to turn things around. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://esimoney.com/my-worst-money-mistakes/ Quotes to ponder: "I had no budget and absolutely no savings. I was making a fortune after all, why did I need to save?" "If I had loosened up a bit and been willing to accept properties with a 9% return, I’d probably have twice as many properties as I do now."
