The Anxiety of Money: Perceptions and Triggers
In this episode, the host reflects on his relationship with money and the anxiety it brings. He shares personal experiences, such as never worrying about money growing up and feeling anxious after his father's death. Despite having enough money to live comfortably, he still experiences financial anxiety. The host identifies four reasons for this, including learned behaviors, greater visibility into the price of life, comparison to others, and a feeling of importance. He also explores the paradox of success, where striving for financial freedom can lead to a perpetual desire for more success. To combat this, he suggests surrounding oneself with people who value personal connections rather than professional success, engaging in activities unrelated to money, and setting balanced goals in various areas of life.
