In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Robert Heil. Robert and his wife organically built their own financial plan through open conversations about money. Early in their marriage, they realized that despite earning more, they weren’t making progress toward their goals. This motivated them to align their values, set financial priorities and craft a plan that worked for their family. Robert reflects on the power of those conversations, how they shaped their family’s lives, and the lasting impact of a financial plan rooted in what matters most to them.
