Why It’s Important to Spend Money with Jesse Hurst 203

In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Hurst, CFP and CEO of Impel Wealth Management, to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in personal finance: that all spending is bad. With over 30 years of experience helping clients navigate retirement, Jesse shares how financial planning isn't about restriction, it's about freedom. We explore the psychology behind the transition from saving to spending, why successful savers often struggle to enjoy their wealth in retirement, and how to develop a healthy relationship with money at every life stage. Whether you're a young adult just starting out or approaching retirement with millions saved, this conversation will help you find the balance between enjoying life today and securing your financial future.
