Episode 2774:

Joshua Becker explores why money remains a significant source of stress despite being an amoral tool for trade. He identifies two primary causes: the constant desire for more money, which can lead to endless dissatisfaction, and the habit of spending beyond one’s means, driven by consumerism. Demystifying these root causes and developing a sense of "enough" can help alleviate financial anxiety and promote peace of mind.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/money-stress/

Quotes to ponder:

"Money, by its nature, retains no moral or immoral attributes. It only makes trading goods more convenient."

"Those who love money can never be satisfied. They will never own enough."

"A simplified life is not possible if money possesses you."
