Money cannot buy happiness, but a lack of funds makes happiness harder. Money is simply a fact in our lives and is required to have a basic sense of security. Before we can think about happiness and deeper fulfillment, we must feel financially secure. Money can also buy choice and freedom. Certified financial planner (CFP), financial educator, international bestselling author, and speaker Martha Adams joins our host Steve Rodgers, to educate you about the financial world.
Martha shares her expertise in planning finances and discusses why our emotions affect how we save or spend money. Tune in to this episode of The Alchemy of Business Show to understand that there’s a reason many immediately feel a higher level of happiness just from pursuing financial independence. It’s less about the finish line and more about the sense of control and choices it provides along the way.
