Episode 3377: Dr. Lisa Firestone explores how our emotional history, especially early experiences with money, shapes our current financial stress and self-worth. She reveals how the "critical inner voice" hijacks our judgment, fueling guilt, anxiety, and self-sabotage, and offers practical tools for developing healthier financial beliefs and habits. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/money-stress-why-we-feel-bad-about-money/ Quotes to ponder: "The critical inner voice can cloud your judgment when it comes to money, because you are no longer making choices based on real, practical information." "Don’t avoid your fears or try to self-soothe. Neither buying something you can’t afford nor denying yourself any little luxury will truly relieve you." “The critical inner voice often creates conflict between couples when it comes to money.” Episode references: Stress in America survey by the American Psychological Association: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 3376: How Do the Wealthy Invest? by Nick Maggiulli of Of Dollars and Data on Building Wealth Mindfully
    Dec 5 2025
    Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3376: Nick Maggiulli unpacks how wealthy individuals allocate their assets, revealing that investment strategies often depend more on access and status than on performance alone. While ultra-wealthy investors lean heavily into alternatives like private equity and hedge funds, this typically happens after wealth is accumulated, not as the path to it, offering a crucial reminder to focus on what works for your own situation rather than mimicking the elite. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/how-do-the-wealthy-invest/ Quotes to ponder: "Try not to forget that the wealthiest 10% of Americans own nearly 90% of all U.S. stocks!" “Not all investing is about money, sometimes it’s about status too.” “There are many ways to preserve and grow your wealth. The hard part is finding what works best for you.” Episode references: Michael Kitces: https://www.kitces.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
