Achieving a more leisurely pace (and indulgent lifestyle) comes down to a few key choices, it turns out—and fortunately, they don’t need to be expensive. I chat about romanticizing your life and the European approach to leisure with our guest, Melissa Jean-Baptiste of Millennial in Debt (@millennialindebt), and cover some ways to approach slow living in three key areas of our lives that offer the biggest ROI for happiness.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Money with Katie Show, Rich People.
0:12.0	I'm your host, Katie Gadgettossan, and buck love because today we are talking about
0:18.2	how you can live a life of luxury on the cheap and what luxury actually means.
0:29.9	Because growing up in the Northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, that glittery
0:36.1	sprawling metropolis, I had a very specific vision of what luxury meant.
