What is wealth — really? Is it just a number, or something you can practice right now?
In this episode, we explore how our definition of wealth is expanding to mean more than our Financial Independence #goals. We talk about moving beyond the spreadsheet into the present moment, where wealth includes time, health, joy, connection, and purpose, now — not just money in the bank for later.
You’ll hear:
• Why many in the FIRE community struggle to enjoy spending — even after “making it”
• How our money tracking habits unintentionally reinforced a scarcity mindset
• Real-life stories of how asking the question "what is wealth" changed our choices — from airport salads to bereavement therapy
• Book and podcast recs that inspired our mindset shift (including Staci Haines, Elizabeth Husserl, Sahil Bloom, and Jordan Grumet)
This episode isn’t about abandoning financial goals. It’s about not deferring joy until some theoretical finish line. If you’ve ever felt torn between saving and savoring, this conversation is for you.
Bonus: we also tease an upcoming tool we’re developing to help track joy, satisfaction and time.
