Financial Rant: Making Pennies into Millions and Magic Bunnies to The Rescue: I am a Certified Financial Planner and author of goodfinancialcents.com. This video is part of my “Financial Rant” series where I try to make light of the fact that people have NO idea what it means to retire! Yes, I bribed my 4 year old with chocolate to help me film this video and I even borrowed his magic trick kit. I own a RIA firm here locally and meet with people every day that tell me they want to retire at age 50. Funny thing is, most of them, haven’t saved nearly enough! My passion is educating people about the world of personal finance, but do you know how many people want to watch boring talking head videos about finance? NO ONE! I am trying to teach my audience the importance of saving and if I have to throw in magic bunnies…then so be it!
