Mapped Out Money (Nick & Hanna True)

004: In this episode, we discuss how we let money ruin our honeymoon. And how self-awareness helped us improve our relationship with money and each other.

If you and your spouse have ever ruined what’s supposed to be an amazing experience by arguing and found yourselves wondering, “What the heck is wrong with us?!”… this episode is for you.

Hope you enjoy!

#85: A lot of our decisions make people raise their eyebrows. But since we regularly discuss, reassess, and adjust our life vision and budget, we're able to confidently leave behind a lot of "good" in order to work towards the things that are "great" to us. 

What in your life is good, but might be holding you back from achieving great?

003: In this episode, we discuss the importance of self-reliance with your financial decisions and how to not let others' opinions influence you.

Unfortunately, most of us go through life without always thinking about what we want. Instead, we are pushed and pulled to choose careers, buy homes, live in cities, and make purchases based on the people around us.

Not anymore.

Today we'll discuss how to recognize when that's happening and what you can do to avoid it.

We hope you enjoy!

#054: Do you ever get so caught up trying to do something well, that you totally overlook the obvious ways to achieve your goal?

Sometimes, the obvious isn't so obvious in the moment. So today we're discussing how to make the practice of identifying the obvious a habit.
