On today's episode of Great Points, Matt talks about how to get off to a fast start in your personal finances or help your loved ones do the same. In finances, much like an Olympic race, getting off to a fast start can put you in a great position to reach a successful outcome. As a newer investor, investing more now can give you a huge leg up for the future. Or if you are looking to set up your heirs for financial stability, gifting them money towards long-term savings can equally have a huge impact. Listen in to learn more about potential strategies.
