Money Lessons I Know at 62 I Wish I Knew at 32

The Affluent Entrepreneur Show

Do you ever wish you knew at 32 what you know at 62? It's not about regrets; it's about turning life's lessons into actionable wisdom!

In today’s episode, I share the money lessons I’ve learned over 62 years—insights I wish I had at 32. We dive into living your own dreams, and not someone else’s. You’ll hear why accepting and learning from your mistakes is crucial, illustrated by my own encounter with a Ponzi scheme. I talk about the importance of making informed financial decisions, and how investing—rather than just saving—is key to wealth accumulation.

Plus, discover why budgeting is less about deprivation and more about permission planning, and why saying no can sometimes be the most powerful decision you make.

Want to make the most out of your financial journey and avoid the pitfalls I encountered? Tune in to the full episode now!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

- Embracing life lessons and making the most of every moment

- Learning from mistakes and the power of discernment in your commitments

- The importance of budgeting as permission planning, not deprivation
