Your Refund Isn't A Reward

About this episode

Erin Skye Kelly discusses the emotional implications of handling tax refunds and how intention can be overshadowed by feelings.

There’s a specific kind of money that feels different the moment it lands in your account. It feels flexible. Justifiable. Almost… deserved. And that’s exactly where things can start to go sideways. Erin Skye Kelly takes a closer look at how quickly intention can get replaced by emotion when you’re deciding how to handle a tax refund.
