• Why money guilt happens (even when you can afford it)
• The difference between intentional spending and impulse spending
• Creating a savings system that runs automatically
• How to define “guilt-free” spending categories
• Balancing present enjoyment with future security

You don’t have to choose between living well and building wealth. With the right approach, you can do both — confidently and consistently.
