Ever chased a “deal” only to end up more stressed than satisfied? What if the pursuit of “value for money” is actually blinding you to what truly matters?
In this eye-opening episode, Shabbar and Tim dissect the common phrase “value for money” and reveal how our obsession with price tags can overshadow genuine well-being. Using a real-life voucher dilemma, they explore the hidden psychological costs of trying to maximize a number, rather than a feeling.
You’ll discover:
- The surprising original meaning of “value” and how we’ve lost touch with it.
- Why chasing a “bargain” can sometimes lead to more anxiety and less joy.
- A powerful framework that distinguishes between addictive, utilitarian, and aesthetic value—and why your money might be flowing to the wrong places.
- How to identify your true values and use your money to cultivate a richer, more fulfilling life, regardless of how much you have.
This conversation will challenge your assumptions about spending, saving, and what it means to live a “valuable” life. Stop letting the numbers dictate your happiness and start investing in what truly resonates with your soul.
