Welcome back the financial guru, Rachel Cruze!! Rachel has a brand new, adorable and meaningful children's book launching this November called "I'm Glad for What I Have."
We discuss the ever-evolving expectations set by social media, the pressure to keep up with a certain standard of living, and how these factors can lead to a never-ending cycle of chasing material possessions. Rachel shares her insights on the importance of contentment and the realization that acquiring everything we want might not lead to the happiness we expect.
Discover the true cost of debt and how it can ensnare us in a never-ending cycle. We also explore the power of minimalism and the things minimalists never buy, shedding light on the concept that a budget isn't a restriction, but rather permission to spend wisely.
Our conversation delves into the transformative nature of generosity and the idea that money serves as a magnifying glass, amplifying our true selves. Join us for an insightful and heartwarming discussion that will help you find balance, contentment, and financial success.

1KHO 210: Spend Your Life, Money, and Energy on What Matters | Rachel Cruze, I'm Glad for What I Have

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
