Summary

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Holiday episodes: In this episode of "Everyone's Talkin' Money," Ben Hockema joins me to explore the idea of how much is "enough" money and what financial security looks like. We discuss how to figure out what is enough for each individual and create a financial plan that allows us to live the life we want. We dive into the detrimental effects of shame marketing and the importance of focusing on untapped potential instead. We also touch on the need to understand our relationship with money and address any shame surrounding it. Overall, we aim to help listeners achieve a calming clarity about their finances and find a balance between current spending and future savings.
