Have you ever felt like you just threw money away? I recently lost $250 over a hotel cancellation policy, and it left me frustrated, guilty, and stressed. What was supposed to be a joyful birthday celebration for my daughter turned into a hard reminder that money is never just math—it’s mindset, emotions, and expectations.
The truth is, wasted money doesn’t have to equal wasted joy. The way we respond when plans fall apart matters more than the dollars lost.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why unclear policies can derail financial plans
- How the sunk cost fallacy keeps you stuck
- Practical ways to build flexibility into your budget
- How to model resilience when money mistakes happen
