About this episode
Worrying about money is, unfortunately, a universal problem. And with today’s economic uncertainty, stubbornly high inflation and recession fears, our worries are only increasing. While it’s impossible to sidestep stress in all areas of our lives, we can take steps to help manage how we feel about our finances, and increase our financial wellness. Certified Financial Planner Manisha Thakor is the author of the new book: “Moneyzen: The Secret to Finding Your Enough ,” and she wants us to consider our emotional well-being and our financial health as twin concepts in all of our day-to-day life decisions. Only then can we break free from the “cult of never enough.” She tells us how. Then, in Mailbag, we hear from a listener who is curious about how to invest the money from the sale of a home, and we hear from a woman who is wondering how to maximize a recent windfall.
