EP #307 Why I Hate Loving Money
Money is powerful, interesting, and tempting, and that is exactly why I have a love-hate relationship with it.
I learned in finance that the healthiest people usually have the healthiest relationship with money, not because they magically have more focus or discipline, but because they understand money as a tool that can be used for good, for harm, and for everything in between.
This episode is really about how money shapes character, choices, and generosity. I want to talk honestly about why money can be such a useful tool and such a dangerous temptation at the same time, and why generosity gives money the right purpose. When money becomes status, it loses some of its value; when it becomes a tool for good, it becomes much more meaningful.
