You earn more than you used to and somewhere along the way, the new stuff stopped doing much. That’s not a you problem. It’s that nobody ever taught you how to spend.
The happiest people don’t spend more than everyone else. They spend differently. In this video I break down the five research-backed moves that turn the same money into a genuinely better life, why experiences beat things, how to buy back your time (and the mistake I made doing it), and the one question to ask before any purchase. I’m Shaun Maslyk, a Certified Financial Planner and positive-psychology grad, and this is where money meets the good life.
