Have you ever caught yourself staring at your accounts, wondering, am I doing the right thing?

Well, you're not alone. In a world where we're drowning in financial data, it feels like we should be more certain than ever. But the truth is, many of us are more anxious than ever. Today, I want to unpack why and how you can find confidence, even when you can't predict what's coming next.

Hey, this is Casey Weed. Welcome to the podcast, where it is my mission to deliver clarity and purpose and elevate meaning in your life. If you're not sure what I mean by that, because you're new to the show, then let me tell you what to expect. In the future, you're going to be listening to the podcast. We're going to have both non-financial conversations. We're going to have financially based conversations. and this is going to be one of those non-financially based conversations, but we are going to have a money tie-in as we usually do. But this is all about this retirement stage of life. And if you're specifically looking for those non-financial conversations, then look for those episodes titled Freedom After 50, where we sit down with

our certified retirement coach, Les McDaniel, and we dive into those non-financial aspects of

life over 50.

And then on the Fridays in between those releases, we're going to have by the numbers

conversations with another certified financial planner practitioner that is on our team.

Marshall Johnson is going to join us for those conversations.

Much of the content for those Friday releases comes out of our weekend reading for a

retirees email that hits your inbox every single Friday.

We go out, we do the research, we sift through all the blog posts and news articles on the internet

to put four of those in your inbox every single Friday with summaries, takeaways from

myself, applications as well. And along with that email, you'll also receive the opportunity

to get giveaways, free books, free white papers, all kinds of great stuff will come in that weekly email to get your weekly email and get the other three articles

that accompanied the one that we're going to be focusing on today.

All you have to do is text us.

Today, we are discussing an article from author Tim Mower and Tony Welch titled The Money Mystics Guide to Financial Sanity that came to us from the blog, The Net Worthwhile Weekly. What a great title. And with that, let's get into the content. Les, welcome back.

I'm here, man. Let's do this. I'm excited. Do it. So I ensure this idea came from Tim Mower.

He said something in here that really stuck with me. He said that we live under the illusion that

numbers give us control. Now, why does that stick with me? Because I live under that illusion.

Or at the very least, I have lived under that illusion in my past. And I've realized that there's a reality that there is a mystery to money.
