Saved diligently, but find it hard to spend? Overcome the anxiety & learn to use your wealth for a fulfilling retirement. Strategies for the mindset shift.
How much is enough? From childhood and throughout our lives, our culture teaches us the answer, always, is "More." Could that be so we won't have to calculate our needs, examine our wants, and evaluate our wishes? Your post recommends focusing on what matters, which requires self-knowledge, and that's hard. But it's worth the effort, and reduces the pressure of always chasing "More."
You are exactly right. It takes strength, courage, and persistence to separate yourself from our culture’s belief that more money and what money can buy are always better. Truth is more is often not better; all too often our focus on more money and what it can buy leaves us feeling frustrated, sad, and lonely. Is it worth the effort ot figure out what matters most to you? Absolutely
