This 20-minute rundown is about an (accidental) three-year study I ran on myself.
Back in 2020, I was subjected to hours of content encouraging me to use the “great pause” of a global panini to reassess my entire life. Challenge accepted.
At the time, I wrote one of my very first blog posts for a fledgling Money with Katie site, describing all the ways I’d like to level up my lifestyle—the little ways money could buy happiness.
I revisited this exercise from my 2023 vantage point and had two major realizations: For starters, most of it came true. Some of it felt the way I thought it would…but a lot of it didn’t.
So how can we set financial goals in a way that’ll actually produce the desired feelings we’re striving for? Tune in to find out.
