Day 3: How to Save and Spend to Make You Happy with Jason Vitug

Day 3 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: Which camp are you in? Money can buy happiness or money can’t buy happiness? I grew up hearing that money can’t buy happiness, but then I saw everyone in my life push hard to make money, hold on tight to money, and not always enjoy money so that all got a bit confusing. Our guest, Jason Vitug, author of the new book Happy Money Happy Life, A Multidimensional Approach to Health, Wealth and Financial Freedom and founder of phroogal.com, believes that money isn’t everything, but it does impact most everything in our lives. So how do you find the balance and put money in its place? In this episode, we’re going to shatter some long-held money beliefs about happiness that just don’t work anymore. Jason also shares why money can buy happiness with a little perspective, how to unlearn all of these false money beliefs and his unique approach to creating happy money and happy life.
