We’re taking a moment to slow down and reflect on what HTM listeners are truly grateful for during this busy holiday season. And yes… doing this on Black Friday is intentional. Instead of swapping stories about the hottest deals, we’re choosing to hit pause on consumption and appreciate what we already have.

 

We also want to connect the dots between the financial sacrifices and smart money moves you’ve made and the deeper parts of life they impact, like family, time, peace, and purpose. Money matters, but what matters more is what it makes possible. So ask yourself:
What does life feel like now that you’re not buried in credit card debt?
Has building an emergency fund reduced your stress in a meaningful way?
Does having a retirement investing plan give you more freedom to be present with your kids?
Does saying “no” to a high-pressure promotion feel right now that you’re within reach of coast FIRE?

 

These are the reflections we hope you’ll sit with today!

Join a thriving community of fellow money in the HTM Facebook group.
Massively reduce your cell phone bill each month by switching to a discount provider like Mint Mobile.

 

And please help us to spread the word by letting friends and family know about How to Money!
