Money is complicated. This is a common human feeling about money. There’s a lot to think about - how do you spend money to reach your goals, are you saving enough for retirement, what is it with all those investing acronyms, and how do you enjoy life through all the financial ups and downs? Our guest, comedian Paula Poundstone, and host of the Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone podcast, knows a thing or two about life’s financial ups and downs. Paula was in debt for a million dollars and spent years climbing out of it. I know it’s not a laughing matter to be in debt; however, we all must embrace Paula's advice. Life will be tough. Life will throw you some curveballs. But, ultimately, life is to be enjoyed, not spent chronically stressed out about money. In this episode, we talk about why money is so complicated, how Paula navigated being in debt, and her advice on how to find true happiness in your life.LinksNobody Listens to Paula Poundstone podcastPaula's comedy tour datesThe Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness book
