You’ll walk away with a practical action step: define your top 3–5 values and do a “values test” on your recent spending. Ralph also offers simple examples of how to shift your finances in small but powerful ways—whether it’s cutting a subscription, redirecting a donation, or setting aside time for a family night. This isn’t about restriction; it’s about living intentionally and letting your money tell the right story.
