Ep185 Money School Fundamentals

In this episode of Money with Alpha, we dive into what I like to call Money School — the foundational lessons we all wish we'd been taught about money, but weren't.

Just like school gave us structure for learning, we can create our own curriculum for financial wisdom — one that blends knowledge with experience and real-life relevance.

There is an upside to learning about money as an adult - we have real-world experience which makes us (hopefully) better able to understand how to apply what we learn to our lives.  The wisdom that comes with age gives us an advantage here!

Alpha walks through the five core fundamentals of Money School, helping you move from confusion to clarity, and from reaction to intentional action with your money.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

1. What money really is – beyond numbers and emotions, it's simply a tool for value exchange.

2. How much money you truly need (and want) – and why clarity here changes everything.

3. How you earn – identifying ways to earn aligned with your skills, passions, and lifestyle.

4. What to do with the money you earn – learning the balance between saving, spending, and investing.

5. Why automation is freedom – how setting systems helps you stress less and live more.

Key Takeaway:

Money is a tool, not a test. When you understand how to earn, use, and automate it, you unlock the freedom to focus on what really matters — living the life you choose.
