“ Is the price of your choices worth the cost?” I love this Ruth - I might have to steal this quote from you and use it myself in my conversations with clients!

Thanks for another great thought provoking blog - it’s so good to be having these conversations!

Glad you like it! Please do Sarah. It’s so important that financial planners and coaches cause our clients to reflect on what may become default actions and choices. Let me know how you get on. Let’s change money conversations on person at a time 😀

Such a thought-provoking edition & one which I read on the back of this article about retirement + play https://toooldforthis.substack.com/p/you-and-i-are-too-old-to-buy-the?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2 Both this and your article inspired me to log off my work laptop and spend 30 minutes playing with my fiction project. A better choice than more slack notifications after an already-long day at work

Brilliant share, thanks Emma, really enjoyed Julia article. She makes soooo many relevant points. And good on you for calling it a day yesterday, a great example of choice :-)

Have enough? Had enough? Am enough?

As you said, it comes from within. So, am I enough? If not, no one else and nothing else can fill that gap. I find this both scary and inspiring, because it means we can all be enough, but we have to do the work ourselves.

On a separate note, recent research on the happiness/money space shows that more money makes happy people happier but doesn't move the dial for miserable people.

Thanks for the great post.

Thanks Dennis. I really like that distinction you make re am I enough. Something very few explore as it is scary, what might we find?! and therefore loosing what lies on the other side...

I have seen that research you mention Dennis, i think i obliquely referenced it in my footnote.

I am glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for engaging :-)
