Episode 2139:
Dustin Heiner shares how a business that was supposed to make him money instead drained his paycheck month after month, and how the cash his family had set aside is the only reason he could hold on long enough to sell it. He explains what an emergency fund actually is, why the best time to plan for hard times is while things are going well, and how that one habit protects both your household and your business.
