195 | Financially Savvy

Some people think it’s making a lot of money.

Some would say it's being frugal.

Others would consider someone who gave an in-depth market update or saved you taxes savvy.

I’m convinced that financial savvy is nothing more than knowing how to spend less than you make through various seasons of life and circumstances...

And then being able to tell the story of why you spent more than you made in the seasons that it inevitably happens.

The first part, "spending less than you make", is proof to ourselves that we know how to live within our means.

The second part, "being able to tell the story", is proof to ourselves that we're tuned into why money is going out the door and where it's going.

Once you've figured out the first part, you've mastered the technical side of finance.

But mastering the second part, is where we begin to refine the relationship that we have with money.

Once you can do both, you're savvy.
