Summary

Mirror, mirror on the wall... which category is the truest of them all? Over the last several weeks, Jesse has explored the idea that money is more than just a tool, it's a reflection of you. Your spending is a representation of your energies and your desires, and therefore a proxy for who you are. So, if you imagined the categories in your spending plan as a mirror -- what would that mirror say about you? Do you like what's in the reflection?

0:37.0

Someone answered me that riddle.

0:40.0

All right, we kind of hit on.

The last couple of weeks we've been on, well, we've been talking about money,

0:45.0
