    144. Financial goals that don’t suck - 7 traps to avoid

    We often fall into the trap of setting financial goals that are destined to fail, so we’re exploring why some goal-setting attempts fail and how to pivot away from the common mistakes that turn well-intentioned plans into forgotten wishes. By shifting our focus, we can find the traction needed to make real progress. We dive into the psychology of "fresh starts," the power of accepting mediocrity to overcome perfectionism, and why your most successful financial year might actually involve a plan to spend more on the things you love.

    142. The One Choice that can save you millions

    Forget the complex spreadsheets and the endless debate over index funds; there is a single, overlooked choice that quietly dictates whether you will save thousands or millions over the course of your life. This invisible force shapes your spending habits, your stress levels, and your perception of "enough" without you ever realizing it. While most people focus on the tactical side of money, we explore the environmental factors that either trap you in a cycle of scarcity or propel you toward true abundance. We dive into why your current surroundings might be the biggest hurdle to your financial independence and how one strategic shift can change your trajectory forever.

    We dive into a common listener question: Can I afford a career break or sabbatical? Career breaks for family, travel, burnout, or realignment are becoming increasingly common, and we wholeheartedly support the idea. However, the financial and mental preparation required for taking time off extends far beyond just checking your savings account balance. We provide essential, step-by-step guidance on all the considerations to thoughtfully answer this question, including your emergency fund, medical insurance, rehireability, planning for the worst-case scenario, navigating debt, and more.

    137. The 80/20 rule of money - Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good

    We tackle one of the biggest mental roadblocks to wealth: the search for perfection that leads to over-optimization and analysis paralysis. If you’ve ever frozen up while trying to find the absolute best investment or budgeting tool, you're not alone. We break down the 80/20 rule of money, arguing that the simple, boring choices are the real secrets to financial progress, not chasing tiny advantages.
