Telling People You're Retired or Wealthy | MHFI 208
About this episode
Doug and Carl (along with special guest co-host Georgie the dog) explore the concept of stealth wealth. Each provides their personal money story & how much work it took to arrive at their current position, the pros & cons of sharing one’s financial status with others, and how this knowledge impacts social interactions & relationships. They also discuss giving and helping others responsibly, using wealth to support people in meaningful ways rather than in response to direct requests for money.
