Financial Tech Podcast 10: Values and Money

Where we spend our money is a reflection of our interests, values and priorities.

Does your bank statement reflect what you value?

• Where is your money going
• Is that where you want it to go?

• Spend on what you love
• Cut out the things you don’t love
• You can’t love everything!

· Then re-evaluate
