Thirteen Dumb Mistakes Smart People Make with Their Money - with CBS News analyst Jill Schlesinger

#182: Millions of smart, educated and successful people make dumb mistakes with their money ... and they don't realize it.

I'm not talking about obvious dumb mistakes, like spending 85 percent of your income on a fleet of Ultra-Luxe-Fancymobiles for your 16-car garage. That's clearly a bad idea.

Instead, I'm talking about hidden dumb mistakes that you may not realize until it's too late.

Perhaps you don't have enough insurance, or you hold the wrong types of policies for your age and life situation.

Maybe you don't have an estate plan, or you haven't updated your estate plan after your childbirth or divorce or remarriage.

What if you're taking financial advice from the wrong people, or buying products that you don't understand? Are you rushing to buy a home too soon? Did you take out too much debt for college?

Today's podcast guest, Emmy-nominated CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger, describes 13 dumb mistakes that smart people make with their money.
