Wealthy After 40: Personal Finance, Budgeting, Retirement Planning, Savings, Spending, Financial Freedom, and How to Retire for Gen Xers

Ep 144 | Why Comparing Your Finances Is Keeping You Stuck


Listen Later

Ever feel like you’re falling behind financially no matter how hard you work or how much you accomplish?


In this episode, I’m sharing the story of a client who went from stuck in comparison mode to building real confidence and momentum with her money. She was running a thriving business, yet felt like a failure because she kept measuring herself against other people’s retirement accounts, debt-free milestones, and dream vacations. 


The truth is, when you’re busy comparing your finances to someone else’s highlight reel, you lose sight of the only numbers that actually matter: your own. Tune in to learn how she shifted from unsettled to successful, and how you can start finding progress and peace in your own financial journey.


What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ Why comparing your finances to others keeps you stuck and frustrated

✅ How to measure financial progress the right way (and what numbers to focus on)

✅ A simple two-step process to stop comparison and start building confidence

✅ How one client went from unsettled and overwhelmed to making real financial progress

✅ Practical money tips for finding success on your retirement journey
