Comparison steals joy in personal finance. When my clients can focus on their progress rather than what everyone else is doing, it creates focus and contentment. Social media is a great example of not seeing the whole picture. It shows highlight reels, not complete financial pictures. If they pull back the curtain, they may very well see the hidden debt behind that purchase. People have different starting points and circumstances, so focusing on their own milestones and getting inspired by others’ success, not being pressured, creates motivation.
I’m a good referral for the couple who get distracted by the shiny objects on social media and ads and can’t seem to make progress on improving their finances. Connect us, and I’ll guide them through the process of getting their priorities right, taking control, and finding peace.
