Money and Happiness (Ep. 64)
On this episode of the Money is Emotional podcast, Christine Luken explores the intricate relationship between money and happiness. She emphasizes that while money can support happiness, it is not the source of it. The conversation delves into the concept of the income plateau, where happiness levels off after a certain income point. Christine encourages listeners to find joy in their current financial journey, practice mindfulness in money management, and prioritize spending on experiences and relationships over material possessions. The episode concludes with a focus on aligning spending with personal values and the intentional use of money to foster a fulfilling life.
