Presidential Money Lessons w/ Megan Gorman #881

Wondering who you should vote for? Well we’re finally going to share our presidential recommendations!... Psych. And we’re actually not even going to get into recent presidential money stories like tax returns or whether candidates own any stocks or other shady business deals. In fact, we’re going to completely avoid the mud-slinging landscape that we find ourselves in today, and instead, we’re going to focus on personal finance, which is what we do best! And fortunately for us we’re joined by author Megan Gorman. Megan is a history buff, she began her career at Goldman Sachs, and then founded her own firm specializing in tax and financial planning for high-net-worth individuals. She’s a senior contributor to Forbes, is regularly quoted in the Wall Street Journal, and her new book “All the Presidents Money”, looks at the men who governed America in order to learn how they governed their money. For instance Jefferson buying wine on credit, John Adams take on having money conversations with your partner… listen as we cover the financial lessons we can all learn from Lincoln, Truman, JFK, and more during today’s episode!   Want more How To Money in your life?
