245 | Are You Avoiding Your Money? 4 Reasons High Earners Avoid Their Finances (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if avoiding your money does not actually look like avoiding your bank account? You can make six figures, own a home, contribute to your 401k, take vacations, and still have parts of your financial life that you do not want to look at.

Read excerpt
A listener asked me a question that I know has crossed your mind too, especially if your birthday is coming up or you are someone who loves to celebrate.
