This week on Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean is joined by Sarah Newcomb, director of financial psychology at Morningstar, to talk about making financial New Year’s resolutions and how to stay on track when your will is tested. Later in the episode, Edelman Financial Engines wealth planner Isabel Barrow joins Jean to provide some key areas that you may want to focus on that can help you with building wealth in this new year.
