Fishy Money Pt. 4: Private Community Members Share Financial Game Plans for Tough Seasons

Partners of Commercial Fishermen

After speaking to POCFs in our community, I’ve learned that the most helpful way to figure out the best financial plan for you is to learn what has successfully (and unsuccessfully) worked for others in our unique lifestyle, connect with financial professionals to ask questions, then create a financial plan that reflects your goals. That’s what this “Fishy Money” series is all about!

Continuing our conversation about handling financials during tough seasons, I share what two members of our private chat community have done in the past and what they do now to stay afloat. I also share one huge financial mistake my fisherman, and I made in the past and how we got out of it.

Disclaimer: I am presenting personal viewpoints of POCFS that do not directly reflect the opinions or positions of the POCF community. (I’m learning along with you and sharing advice and ways people in our community handle finances!) I’m not endorsing or taking responsibility for the accuracy or implications of this episode, so listeners are encouraged to form their own informed opinions based on a range of sources and perspectives and what works best for them. You got this!
