Curious About Money - Danny & Ev are on FIRE (Part 1)

What if the way you handle money has nothing to do with maths, and everything to do with a story your family told you without ever meaning to?In Part 1 of a two part money series, we dig into the money scripts they inherited and never chose and work through the four money belief patterns psychology has actually mapped (and figure out which one they both keep landing in). We take a rapid fire tour through money sayings like "money talks" and "put your money where your mouth is," and pick apart the famous $75K happiness study everyone still quotes. The back half turns into a ultra useful crash course on the FIRE movement, savings rates and how an ETF works, with a detour into the ethical headache Ev didn't see coming once SpaceX hit the stock market.In this episode:The four money belief patterns researchers identified, and the one Evelina and Danny both landed inA rapid fire run through money sayings and where they actually came from (Ancient Greece makes an appearance)The famous $75K happiness plateau study everyone quotes, and the newer research that quietly demolished itA plain English breakdown of the FIRE movement, savings rates and how an ETF actually worksWhy SpaceX's record-breaking IPO put Danny in an unexpected ethical bind with his own super fundSneaky science alert: Klontz and colleagues' four money belief patterns, Kahneman and Deaton's famous $75K plateau, and the newer Killingsworth research that overturned it all make an appearance, wedged somewhere between a Mary Poppins reference and Ev's failed day trading career.
