Summary

Inspired by the Ramit Sethi quote—“Spend extravagantly on the things you love, and cut costs mercilessly on the things you don’t”—this episode dives into the heart of values-based spending. We’re talking about how to ditch guilt, align your money with what truly matters to your family, and why it’s okay to love what you love. Plus: how this mindset has helped our marriage and changed the way we spend in both big and small ways. Closing Liturgy / Prayer: God who gives generously, Teach us to love what we love without shame. Help us release what no longer serves— The obligations, the expectations, the guilt. Remind us that wisdom looks like alignment, Not approval. And may our money—our time, our resources, our yeses— Be spent with joy. On what matters. On what lasts. On what You love. Amen.
