Comparing ourselves to others is a natural tendency, but it can be especially harmful when it comes to our finances. With Passover approaching, it's a great opportunity to reflect on how we want to celebrate with our loved ones. What traditions and activities are important to us and our families? Rather than feeling pressure to keep up with the Joneses, let's focus on what brings us joy and fulfillment. By doing so, we can learn to appreciate our own financial situations and enjoy life in ways that align with our values and priorities. ______________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AaronKatsman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ______________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-
