40 Money Lessons at 40: Real-Life Wins, Mistakes and What Actually Matters - Part 1


Listen Later

What does turning 40 teach you about money? A lot. In this special series, Shari Rash shares 40 money lessons she’s learned over two decades in personal finance — from the cringe-worthy (financing a couch for three years) to the life-changing (automation beats motivation every single time).

This episode kicks off the first set of lessons, where Shari covers why:

  • Saving only for the future leaves you broke in the present
  • Confidence matters more than perfection when it comes to money decisions
  • Consistency beats intensity every single time
  • Money is forgiving — you can mess up and still recover
  • Independence doesn’t mean doing it all alone
  • Whether you’re 25 and just starting out, or 55 and saying “better late than never,” these lessons will shift how you think about money — and how you use it.

    You’ll walk away knowing:

    • The dangers of over-saving for retirement while neglecting cash flow today
    • How to move from research paralysis to confident action
    • Why automation is your secret weapon for building wealth
    • The truth about financial independence (it doesn’t mean going solo)
    • How to reset when mistakes happen, without shame or guilt
    • If you’ve ever wondered what really matters when it comes to money — not the Instagram hacks, not the one-hit-wonder success stories, but the everyday strategies that actually work — this is the episode for you.
