Why do we make comparisons? Lauren and Katie talk about comparing yourself to others, how to avoid it and use it for motivation, and remind us all to forgive ourselves when we do this. They talk keeping up with the Jones, when the Joneses are your friends. You want to be happy for your friends, but it might take effort. The right comparison to yourself is you in the past. Remember the social media highlight reel. Katie tells Lauren about the financial and mental impacts of comparison to others. She points out there is always going to be someone who’s doing better than you financially. Katie reminds us that people are worth your time even if they have different money goals. Be the average of the 5 people around you? Sure, in more dimensions than financial. You may never be able to stamp out comparison and lifestyle creep, and that’s OK. Do it in a healthy way. Use envy as a guide. Foster an abundance mindset. Finally, remember it’s the journey, not the destination.
