Money lessons from New York

DENISE DUFFIELD-THOMAS
About this episode

I recently got home from an AMAZING trip to New York, and I was surprised by how many money lessons I picked up! 

 

This was an unusual trip because, at least initially, it wasn't work-related. It felt hard to let myself relax and do something purely for fun. 

 

As you may know, I love musicals and Broadway (and have invested in a few), so I went to NY for BroadwayCon. 

 

The Ruler in me did add two VIP days to pay for the trip, but it was honestly such a chilled, and inspiring trip. 

 

So the first lesson straight away was that it's okay for me to do things just for me and just for joy - this is definitely something I want to lean into next year. 

 

When did you last do something just for the fun of it?
