Episode Summary / Show Notes

Money doesn’t just sit still — it flows.In this Maple Leaf Money episode, we explore the three buckets of money that help you give direction and purpose to every dollar: spending, saving, and sharing.

You’ll learn:

Why the spending bucket has holes — and how to decide which ones are worth it

How the saving bucket acts as your reservoir for future security

Why the sharing bucket matters — and how generosity strengthens community

What happens when money sits still and becomes stagnant, losing its potential

How to keep money flowing purposefully, like water nourishing the landscape of your life

Money, like water, needs balance. Too much outflow leaves you dry, but no movement at all leaves you stagnant. Directing your flow into the right buckets keeps your financial ecosystem alive, healthy, and meaningful.

Takeaways

Money needs flow — not waste, not stagnation.

Save with purpose, spend with awareness, and share with gratitude.

Balance is the goal: each bucket serves a role.

Financial health is about direction, not just accumulation.
