Your Personal Economy: The Six Jobs Your Money Has
About this episode
In this episode, Andrew Temte introduces the concept of personal financial management through the six jobs your money has.
In this episode of Money Lessons, Andy launches a brand-new series on personal financial management by drawing the map: the six jobs your money has — earn, spend, borrow, protect, grow, and give. He explains why spending feels so effortless in a consumer-driven economy where household spending makes up about 68 percent of everything the U.S. produces in a year. Along the way, he introduces the idea that will guide the entire series: managing your money is stewardship of your own small economy, held in trust for your future self and the people who count on you. The episode closes with one simple assignment — watch the flow this week, and name the job each dollar is doing. New episodes every Saturday morning. AndrewTemte.com
