Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated

providing you with the knowledge, skills, insight,

and encouragement you need to live a rich

and meaningful life now,

while building a plan for financial freedom

in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua Sheet, I'm your host today.

You'll notice that my emphasis is on living

a rich life now, a meaningful life now,

and on the word insight.

You'll understand that today I want to talk about

what it means to live a rich and meaningful life,

and then I want to use a classic resource

to draw some of the lessons.

As I record this, it is Tuesday, December 21,

2000 and 21, for all the number of Fisionados,

12, 21, 21, which is of course a fun number.

And I want to share with you today a classic tale

of what it means to balance money

with other aspects of your life.

The tale is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens,

a very well-known story.
