Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!

In this episode, Billy and Andrew explore the paradox of over-saving: how being too conservative with your finances can quietly erode your wealth and rob you of life experiences you'll never get back.

From the cautionary tale of a 50-year-old with 12 debt-free properties but no hobbies or holidays, to retirees paying unnecessary tax on million-dollar savings accounts, we reveal the invisible costs of financial paralysis. Discover why holding excess cash, avoiding professional advice to save fees, and defaulting to "no" can cost you more than you realize—both financially and personally.

Tune in to learn how to find the balance between financial security and actually living the life your money is meant to create.
