info_outline"Comparison is the thief of joy"
Theodore Roosevelt
Well comparison can not only steal your joy...but your wallet, too. Do you ever feel like you need to keep up with your friends, your neighbors or even people you've never met in real live but follow via the internet? If that is something you can relate to, let me say you're in good company, friend. We live in a world where it seems like as soon as we get out of college, or just out into the "real world" in general, we feel we should have the same financial situation our parents do. The problem is, our parents have been at it our whole life, and we are just starting out.
In this episode, we are diving into the perennial struggle with the desire to 'keep up with the Jones'. We'll share our stories, our struggles, and ask some questions about what is really important.
In this episode we discuss:
- What is meant by "keeping up with the Jones'"?
- What is lifestyle inflation?
- Besides finances, what are some pressures we may feel to "keep up" with
- Our personal stories and when we each realized we were out of our element
- Some strategies for assessing what is important and how to rein in spending when you realize it's off the rails
- and lots of laughing...and more!
