The Rational Reminder Podcast · Shannon Lee Simmons: How To Stop Feeling Broke | #415 · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

And so the planning that can take place there for financial planning is a lot more calm, cool and collected because we're really just working out different scenarios and making sure that it is a no regret decision in the sense that you might make these great decisions, but it may not work out.

You want to go back to school.

You might not get a great job.

You might quit this wonderful financial job that you hate, retrain, go here and you might hate it or maybe you don't get it.

Are you going to look back and regret that you did this?

And what can we do to safeguard yourself from that?

And the safeguarding comes down to mapping out pivot points where this isn't working.

What else am I changing?

How am I going to change my plans?

And then guardrails, which is like, how much money are you willing to spend to chase this dream before it's actually dangerous?

That's something that from a financial planning point of view, I'll map that out.

So you see it coming a mile away.

And when you reach, unfortunately, I hope no one ever does, but if you reach a guardrail where you spent the money that was the limit, a classic example is like bidding on a house for the first time.

Okay, this is the ideal.

Here's the higher price point you could go, but you'd have to change things about your life.

And then here's the guardrail.

Like, no, that's a hard no.

If you reach the hard no, then...

If you saw it coming a mile away, it doesn't feel abrupt and it doesn't feel scary and it doesn't feel upsetting.

You already knew it was coming and then you can say no and back away from whatever that first ideal plan was.
