Tariffs aren’t just for global trade - you can apply the concept to your personal life to protect your time, energy, and values.
As we gain more financial freedom, how we spend and make money should evolve too. In this short and reflective episode, I explore the idea of personal tariffs and how I have applied this to things that may seem like a good deal on the surface, but actually come at a hidden cost to my time, energy, or well-being.
I share three categories where I’ve started mentally “taxing” the lower-cost option. This isn’t about spending recklessly - it’s about making intentional choices that align with the life you’re building.
If you’re on the journey to financial independence and want to feel better about spending in ways that support your health, happiness, and values, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
- “Personal tariff”- a mental cost you assign to choices that drain you, even if they save money.
- Building a life you’re proud of means prioritizing alignment over optimization.
- Financial independence isn’t just about money - it’s about creating space to live in a way that feels good.
