What Growing Up Financially Actually Looks Like | Rich Girl Clubhouse

In this video, I’m reflecting on how my relationship with money has changed over time, both personally and through years of working in financial planning. Not as advice, but as an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to grow up financially as a thirty something year old...

We talk about why earning more doesn’t always make life feel easier, how deciding what “enough” looks like can change everything, and why ease, margin, and predictability matter more than constant upgrades.

If you’re in a season where money feels different (lighter, heavier, or just confusing) you’re not behind. You’re growing.

Resources referenced in this video
– Princeton University (Kahneman & Deaton) on income and happiness
– Harvard Business Review on money and wellbeing
– Research on lifestyle inflation, margin, and financial decision-making

This is the kind of conversation I want to keep having here... thoughtful, honest, and grounded | Rich Girl Clubhouse
