Smart Spending with Josh

There are just certain things I don’t pay for. Not sometimes. Not “if I can avoid it.” Ever. In this episode, I break down the few hard lines I’ve set — and why having clear boundaries makes spending easier, not harder. This isn’t about being extreme or cutting everything out.

It’s about noticing what actually makes sense… and what doesn’t. Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
