Personal Financial Wellness: Notice how little of it is about money

Dr. Luke Erickson is an Associate Professor and the Personal Finance Extension Specialist for the University of Idaho, where he intentionally blends his research, teaching and outreach towards holistic well-being. We talk through establishing our boundaries and finding ways to match our values with the esoteric concept of money.

I walked away with this:

- Too much of what you don’t want = burn out

- Finding core values—strategically through worksheets and reflection, more esoterically through lived experience.

- Knowing who you are allows you to let finances be a vehicle to live your best life.

- Money is a tool or vehicle to living your life according to your values
