Can I save for the future while still being able to enjoy my money now?
A while ago I got a question from Kurt, a listener who has done an amazing job saving and investing over the years, but now he's asking, "To what end?" Despite having a solid 401(k) balance, Kurt often feels broke and wonders how he can continue working toward his long-term goals while starting to enjoy some of his money now. To help tackle Kurt’s dilemma, I brought in Delyanne Barros, The Money Coach, to share her thoughts on the situation.

How do I figure out how I should be spending my money if I don’t even know what I want my life to look like?
In episode 452, I spoke with certified financial planner Shannah Game about navigating comparison traps. One of her biggest tips was to find your "why" and get clear on it. But what if, like me, you have no idea where to start to figure out your "why" when planning for your future? Fortunately, Shannah shared her steps for discovering your "why" and gaining clarity on your bigger life goals.
