In this week’s solo episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I explore the concept of wealth and what it means to be truly rich. While wealth is often defined by an abundance of money or material possessions, I discuss the distinction between "visible wealth" (like possessions) and "invisible wealth" (such as financial security, time freedom, and health). I also emphasize the importance of avoiding comparisons to others, especially in affluent environments, and instead focusing on your own financial journey.
In this episode I share:
- How exploring middle school options for my oldest son has me questioning the true value of wealth and financial freedom
- Why you should reflect on how you view wealth and financial freedom in your own life.
- How different people may perceive wealth and how it can lead to misperceptions about one's financial status.
- Why it’s crucial to appreciate the wealth you already have, without seeking external validation.
- How to find value in the invisible wealth that people cannot see, such as being healthy, having strong relationships, having savings, and being able to pay bills on time.
- The importance of being honest with oneself about why one makes certain financial decisions + more.
