Do you have any idea how much you're paying for your life insurance? Life insurance is pure math and probability, and becomes more expensive the later you take it in life.

The question I get asked most is "How much money do I need in order to stop working?" Ever wondered about that? Stop working.  Freedom to choose how you spend your time.  Where you spend it... with whom you spend it... and IF you choose to work.

In your home, who do you believe works the hardest - the partner who stays at home or the one who goes out to work? The World Out There would have you believe it's a certain way, and having recently caught myself doing the same thing, I thought it wise to shine a light on one of these deep patterns that keep us stuck.

What would make your life better? I'd be surprised if you didn't say a higher income, most people do!   No matter how much we earn, we think that more money would make our lives easier...   In the same way that Parkinson's law states that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion", so it is with money: the more you earn, the more you will spend.   In today's episode are som...

Do you catch yourself telling your children the same disempowering statements about money that your parents taught (or modelled for) you? Then it might be time to reframe your money beliefs.
