Everyone knows they should be saving money, but most people don't take it a step further and specify what that savings should be for.
I've worked with clients who would save money consistently, but never had a strategy around that savings.
There are certain things everyone should be saving for, but it's not always clear what those things should be.

If you're unsure about what to save for, in this episode, I'm sharing 8 things everyone should be saving for over time.
