14 min - 447 - Barking Up the Wrong Tree: Why We Often Confuse Standard of Living With Quality of Life
We humans are on a non-stop journey for a higher standard of living. For many, it’s not as much a journey as it is an obsession. What if we’re barking up the wrong tree? What if, instead of pursuing a higher standard of living, what we’re really seeking is a better quality of life? These aren’t the same, and the moment we recognize the difference, we can truly improve our lives in tangible ways. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton shares his middle-of-the-night wonderings about this topic, framed through the lens of Cole’s recent house purchase.

14 min - 446 - When Budgeting Means Spending More: Never About Less, Always About Better
“I need to get on a budget.” This is a commonly used phrase in our culture, almost always viewed through the lens of budgeting = spend less money. We couldn’t disagree more. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains why budgeting isn’t necessarily about spending less, but spending better. The goal should never be to end up with more money, but rather to live a more meaningful life. Maybe that means spending less; maybe it means spending more in the areas that add the most value to your life. Either way, budgeting should serve you, not the other way around.

Want a hard pill to swallow today? One reason we haven’t achieved our most deeply desired goals is that, while we want them, we’re not willing to pay the price to make them happen.

This is the decision we must each make.
