Money is a precious resource—but what exactly is it for?
Jesse Mecham returns to From Busy to Rich for a conversation that challenges some of the most common assumptions we carry about money. From the belief that saving is always good and spending is bad to the fear that successful people can keep accumulating long after they have enough, Jesse and Wes explore what changes when money has a clearly defined purpose.
They also dig into the stories we inherit about security, the importance of allowing the next generation to struggle, and why clarity may be one of the greatest gifts an advisor—or parent—can provide.
In This Episode:
- Why Jesse believes you can't save money—you can only spend it later.
- How asking “What is this money for?” can shift a client from reacting to intentionally acting.
- Why old stories about money, fear, and security may stop serving us as our circumstances change.
- How clarity around financial support can help the next generation develop independence rather than entitlement.
- Why value creation—not tenure or inflation—is a stronger framework for thinking about compensation and opportunity.
