“I can’t refinance my house because there aren’t any comps.”
“I can’t get disability insurance because I have high blood pressure.”
“I can’t live in a $250,000 house because I won’t be happy there.”
“I can’t buy a used car because I need a car that runs.”
“I can’t use a debit card because it’s not safe.”
“I can’t get life insurance because I have depression.”
“I can’t invest because the market will crash.”
“I can’t use a credit union because I’ve always used a bank.”
“I can’t retire because there’s no one to care for my patients.”
“I can’t build an emergency fund because I have student loan debt.”
“I can’t sell my condo because no one can finance it.”
“I can’t follow a spending plan because I don’t have a spending problem.”
“I can’t learn about investing because it’s not my thing.”
“I can’t hire a financial advisor because they’re all a bunch of con artists.”
“I can’t do financial planning because I don’t have time.”
