from Dollars & Sense · host Freedman Financial

As we approach the halfway point of 2025, it’s hard not to look back at the headlines that dominated so much of the first six months of the year and see if they are still relevant.   With that in mind, Marc & Marion are spending much of today’s episode of the show discussing “confirmation bias”, or the tendency to favor information that already aligns with one’s preexisting beliefs. This is very true in the political realm, but what about in your financial decisions?  With that in mind, the duo also touch on the importance of being careful where you are getting information from online, especially with the advancements in technology that excel at deceiving you.  A full complement of Dollars & Sense broadcasts found here.    DISCLOSURES:   During Dollars & Sense with Freedman Financial, your host, Marc Freedman, may discuss specific financial planning and investment ideas.

True Family Men David Johnson Hey I’m David Johnson founder of True Family Men. I believe the lord has called me to build a strong community of men. The mission of this community is to allow men to learn from one another's successes and failures in marriage and parenting. The True Family Men Podcast was born to give men a platform to share their testimonies of how Jesus Christ has brought them out of life greatest challenges and how to begin the healing process. We as men face many problems in life from lust, pornography addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, anger, stress, false sense of manliness, the list is endless, but through a strong community of believers and the redeeming power of christ's blood we can overcome!
