Listen Later

You’ve worked hard, built wealth, and reached financial security… so why is it still so hard to spend? In this episode, we dive into the unexpected challenge of shifting from a saver’s mindset to actually enjoying your money.

From a millionaire couple hesitating over a $5 bag of M&Ms to a husband upset about a bottle of Fiji water—this is more common than you think! Behavioral finance reveals why past money habits stick with us, even when we don’t need them anymore.

We’ll break down how to retrain your mindset, align spending with what truly matters, and ensure your wealth enhances your life instead of holding you back. Plus, a practical strategy to help you finally enjoy your money guilt-free!
