Why Are You Chasing More Money? | UM Ep 14
From Understanding Money · 00:20:41
Show by Martin Kotze and Ruan Lubbe
We talk a lot about budgeting, debt, and saving on this show. This week we're pausing on the practical stuff to ask a bigger question: why do you actually want money in the first place?Because "financial freedom" is a phrase that sounds good but rarely gets defined. A lot of us don't actually want freedom, we want permission to spend without feeling guilty. In this episode we unpack the difference, talk about why margin matters more than income, and share some personal, honest stories about what these principles have actually looked like in our own lives. If you've ever felt like you're chasing a number instead of a life, this one's for you.In this episode:00:00 Intro01:18 Go watch Ep 1301:46 Intro to topic02:11 Call to action02:53 Why we started Understanding Money03:46 Money is a tool04:46 Why do you want money?05:35 More money doesn't always equal more06:27 Where money loses it's purpose07:19 When "Financial Freedom" isn't what you actually desire08:24 What does "Flourishing Financially" actually mean?09:36 The importance of Margin11:45 Whose the master of who?12:40 Understanding your relationship with money13:50 Martin's testimony18:03 Ruan's current journey19:17 OutroGot a money question you want us to tackle on the show?
