We spend much of our lives in the comparison trap. We see actresses lose the baby weight right after birth, models keep their “perfect” shapes no matter their age and others find success in ways we never imagined. But more often than not, comparison hinders our own progress and this extends to family finances as well.
While comparison can sometimes serve as motivation, it can also be destructive, but the good news is that there are ways we can prevent the act of comparison from destroying our finances. And that’s exactly what we’re chatting about in today’s episode. So, buckle up because this one’s going to get real.
