On this week's episode Damien and Andy talk about their best and worst money decisions ever. They also discuss how good and bad luck have affected their finances at various points in their lives. Most important of all, Damien explains why it's essential everyone acknowledges the good, the bad, the lucky and unlucky decisions they've made if they are to make better decisions in the future.
