What Truly Makes a Life Worth Living? SB1615


Listen Later

If your bank account is thriving, but your soul feels bankrupt, are you really living your best life?

Today we dive into the deep end of personal finance, tackling life's biggest questions. The discussion starts with festive neighborly rivalries (think over-the-top decorations and holiday antics) but transitions pretty quickly into an emotional exploration inspired by a powerful piece written by Jonathan Clements for his Humble Dollar blog. Reflecting on his cancer diagnosis and thoughts on mortality, Clements’ writing serves as a springboard for a candid roundtable chat about regrets, risk, and how to make the most of our limited time.

With additional insights from Paula Pant and Doc G, this episode is all about helping you live purposefully while keeping your financial house in order.
