Are you saving so much for retirement that it’s squeezing your life today? In this episode, Sean answers a viewer question about finding the right balance between preparing for the future and living fully in the present. Can you save too much? Are you over-saving at the expense of living now? Sean addresses the listener’s concern that he’s maxing out multiple accounts but still feels like he’s living paycheck to paycheck. It raises an important point: Is it possible to be too focused on the future and miss out on the present?

 

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🧭 Why “starting with the end in mind” matters most

🧠 How your past shapes your money biases today
