Description: This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with two other financial talking heads about how backwards it is to strip your life of all joy in the pursuit of saving every penny: “I’m not sure what they’re optimizing their lives for,” one said, “But it obviously isn’t ‘happiness.’”Friends, I plunked down in the chair after that and wrote for three hours straight (then decided I hated the first draft and basically rewrote the entire thing)—and the result was this episode.Take a trip with me to the fictional town of Ramseyville (I’m the HOA president, in this analogy) and let’s explore the ways in which the road to hell is paved with good intentions.Learn more about our sponsor, TaxAct: https://www.taxact.com/moneywithkatie.Transcripts can be found at podcast.moneywithkatie.com.—Mentioned in the Episode15 Things Poor People Do That The Rich Don't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllZrOoxpzcWhy I Don't Eat Out At Restaurants, Even As A Millionaire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWYG_ECNyYkHow Your Daily Coffee Habit Is Costing You $1 Million: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5pW7bFcVN4Jack Raines on The Money Value of Time: https://www.youngmoney.co/p/money-value-time—Follow Along at Money with Katie: https://moneywithkatie.com/Follow Money with Katie!- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneywithkatie/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/moneywithkatie Subscribe to The Money with Katie Newsletter- Sign up for free today: https://www.morningbrew.com/money-with-katie/subscribe/2Follow the Brew!- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morningbrew/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/MorningBrew- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morningbrewLearn more about your ad choices.
