Many of us fantasize about receiving a large sum of money unexpectedly. This is the very fantasy that sends people to the grocery store for lottery tickets.

But it's not just a fantasy. Situations do arise when people who are not necessarily experienced in dealing with money find themselves on the receiving end of a financial windfall.

Central Standard's Cash Money Crew visited the KCUR studios to offer practical advice to people unexpectedly inheriting large sums, selling off valuable assets, and yes, maybe even winning the lottery, helping to tailor the fantasy with a firm grasp on reality.

One never knows.

Guests:

  • Lucas Bucl, KCH Wealth Management Services
  • Sandi Weaver, Financial Security Advisors
  • Alex Petrovic, Petrovic Financial Services, Inc.
People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
