Path dependence explains why small early decisions create massive long‑term financial outcomes. In this episode, we break down how your first job, early debt, initial savings habits, lifestyle choices, and early investing experiences shape your future options, risk tolerance, and financial trajectory. You’ll learn why your starting point matters, how inertia keeps you on the wrong path, and how to intentionally change direction before the path becomes permanent.
