CW 1104 - Market Softening, The Peter Principle & Setting New Year Goals

Jason Hartman takes the final episode of 2018 to discuss the current market softening and what's happening in the high end housing sector. He also explains why sometimes things like a government shutdown can provide opportunities for businesses. But the second half of the show is a challenge for you as you're setting your New Years Resolutions. Jason challenges you to sometimes do things that make your life harder, to set goals (like most of America doesn't), to write the goals down and share them with those close to you. This will help you achieve your goals and get you closer to financial independence.
