What Would 'Your Money' Look Like In a Simple Sketch? | Carl Richards | 170

from Catching Up to FI

Carl Richards is one of the leading voices when it comes to money and emotions. For over a decade, he was the creator of the Sketch Guy column in The New York Times, where his hand-drawn sketches made financial complexity surprisingly simple—and deeply emotional. He joins us to ask the question that instantly ties our brain in knots: 'What is money, really?' From there, he discusses: Why we unknowingly organize life around money and work Why 'enough' is a way of being (not a number) How we keep handing money jobs it can't do—like self-worth, love, and happiness Come for the doodles; leave with a gentler, saner way to align your calendar, your checkbook, and your life.   📩 Sign up for our newsletter (NEW!) 🌐 Visit Catching Up to FI website  🔗Connect with us ☕ Like what you hear on Catching Up to FI?
