When Spending Feels Wrong: Tackling FI Guilt and Money Mindsets | MHFI 196


Listen Later

Money Struggles, Celebrating Success, and Potential Return to Work (in the soundcheck)
We discuss listeners' questions on their individual financial journeys. Topics covered include the struggle to attain financial independence, the guilt associated with spending large amounts, the decision to stay in a high-paying but unfulfilling job versus seeking a lower-paying but satisfying career, and the challenges of maintaining control amidst smaller and larger expenses.
Lastly, Carl shared his thoughts on possibly returning to work if a specific, exciting opportunity comes his way, and we discussed our spending habits and attitudes to managing finances.
