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.

Fortunately, Shannah shared her steps for discovering your "why" and gaining clarity on your bigger life goals.
