[Podcast] Believe it or not, the rich have 58% fewer problems, With Tom Corley

In today’s show we discuss why the rich seem to have fewer problems and how, while money doesn't necessarily buy happiness, it certainly can create less unhappiness.

Together with Tom Corley, the co-author of my best-selling book Rich Habits Poor Habits, we challenge some common misconceptions and dig deep into why financial stability can alleviate many of life's stresses.

Of course, money doesn’t automatically equate to happiness; the rich have their problems and challenges as well.

Still, I’m sure you’ll find my conversation with Tom enlightening as he explains how his study shows that money can alleviate 58% of all the problems we experience.

So, let’s unpack these ideas and provide you with insights that can help you on your own journey to success and fulfillment.
