Sometimes life comes at you fast, especially when you’re staring down a herd of bison in the middle of Montana. In this episode, Tim shares a personal story that starts with a scenic hike and ends with a wild reminder about risk, regret, and reacting under pressure. What began as a memorable family trip quickly turned into a powerful metaphor for how many people approach their financial future: waiting too long, ignoring warning signs, and thinking, “It won’t happen to me.”

Tim connects this close call in nature to the very real dangers of procrastinating in retirement planning. He talks about what the moment taught him about urgency, decision-making, and the emotional weight of “what ifs.” It’s a short, honest reflection with some big lessons: Don’t wait until you're panicked to make a move. Don’t assume you’re safe because you’ve made it this far. And most of all, don’t ignore the bison-sized risks charging toward your financial future.
