Emily and Amanda discuss what we can learn about personal finance from the recent summer Olympics in Paris. One thing about athletes is that they know there will be a peak performance and that they’ll have to adjust their career afterwards. What about regular people? Most don’t recognize when they’re at their peak earning potential. Life happens – you have a baby, you lose a job, you burnout on your career. We might not know when we peak, but we do know that if you are a high earner, you may not stay one. If you plan now for when life throws a monkey wrench in the works, then you’ll be better able to pivot when the change comes.
