from From Middle Class to Millions · host Shannon Brome-Ward

Do you make good money but still feel anxious about your finances? This episode of From Middle Class to Millions explains why financial stress doesn't disappear with raises, age, or higher income and why clarity matters more than how much you earn. Shannon shares a real client story of a couple in their 50s navigating retirement planning, multiple old 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, and lingering fear from past layoffs. Different life stage, same core problem she sees with younger clients: competing financial priorities and no clear system for making decisions.
