Hi and welcome to the Deeper Than Money podcast. I am your host, Chloe Elise. I'm a millennial money

coach speaker, dog mom, and a seven on the enneagram, and I am on a mission to prove to you

that finances can be fun and easy. On the Deeper Than Money podcast, we will dive

into all things millennial finance, debt, saving mindset, and how to have financial freedom

to enjoy life in your 20s and 30s. I want you to leave this podcast with more confidence around

your Moolah and the belief that your biggest financial dreams are

possible for you. So let's talk money. Today we're going to be talking about losing money and what that really means. So this past week I had a client who said to me, you know, Chloe, I made this really bad investment and I lost money. And she was talking about

more so investing in herself, investing in her business rather than like an investment in the

stock market just for like context. So she, you know, made an investment by, you know, creating an expense in her business,

invested in something. And in her opinion, she's like, it didn't pay off. It wasn't worth

the money that I invested. And I, you know, I'm super down because I lost that money.

I lost that money.

I spent money and I didn't get the return on investment and so therefore I lost the money.

So that's what I want to talk about today.

And maybe you can think of a situation where you've

ever lost money before. Maybe it was on a house that you invested and you were going to flip and

then, you know, stuff came up and you weren't able to and then you decided to sell the house

and lost the house. Maybe it's on a car that you wanted to

get your dream car. And so then you got your dream car, but you couldn't afford the payments. And so then

you had to give it back and downsize, but then you actually ended up losing money. Maybe it was on,

I don't know, maybe it was on a class on how to bake,

but then you were sick the night of the class and you couldn't go.
