We all get the same 24 hours – but it sure doesn’t always feel that way, does it? Why is it that some people seem to have time for hobbies, meaningful conversations, even a slow cup of coffee, while others are just trying to survive the day on repeat? Today, we’re breaking down what it really takes to build a life that feels enjoyable, sustainable, and manageable… not rushed and reactive. And a crucial part of that equation are smart money decisions and intentional choices about how we spend our time. Our friend Andy Hill is here to share his wisdom. Andy runs Marriage, Kids & Money, and he’s the real deal – someone who has put in the work and built a life guided by values, freedom, and family. Everything he shares today comes from experience, not theory. Some of the topics we get to:

Best reason every for tracking and budgeting
Importance of effective communication with a partner
Cutting expenses shouldn't mean depriving yourself of joy
The debt hatred method focuses on paying off emotionally burdensome debts first
Transitioning to solopreneurship can provide more control over your time
Experimenting with work-life balance can lead to a more fulfilling life
What “FU” money affords you
Life is for living, not just saving for the future
And plenty more!
