Most people don't fail financially because of bad investments — they fail because of how they think about money.

In this episode of Watch Your Six, Jason Edwards breaks down the real reasons people struggle to build lasting wealth, from emotional spending and misused emergency funds to short-term comfort sabotaging long-term freedom. Drawing from decades of real client experience, Jason explains why structure, discipline, and behavior matter far more than picking the "right" stock.

You'll also hear why a clear financial blueprint — not perfect timing — is the foundation of calm, compounded growth, and how small, consistent changes can completely reshape your future.

Key takeaways include:

• Why emotional money decisions are your biggest financial enemy
• The difference between an emergency fund and a "slush fund"
• How short-term sacrifice creates long-term financial freedom

If you're ready to stop being the biggest obstacle to your own success and start building wealth with clarity and confidence, this episode is for you.
