On This Episode
Nearly everyone we know has seen the movie Forrest Gump, which hit movie theaters nearly 30 years ago. That’s really hard to believe, but it’s a film that still holds up today. Forrest might have been slow-witted, but it’s hard to find a more inspirational character. Believe it or not, there are even financial lessons we can glean from the movie and we’ll share those today.
Years ago when we watched that movie, we never would have thought that we’d be sitting here talking about what it teaches us in financial planning but here we are. This should be a fun conversation and a nice trip down memory lane.
Here’s some of what we’ll discuss in this episode:
- Why you need to have a plan that’s able to adjust as life changes.
- An example of someone who had a life circumstance that completely changed their plans.
- We can’t get hung up on decisions we made in the past. Instead, we need to focus on what we can do moving forward.
- Nobody escapes death so what can you do now to prepare your family for loss?
