Life Kit · A financial planner's advice for spending without guilt · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

Oh, things that I have felt financial guilt about.

There are so many.

I bought a home in 2004.

Then I went and bought another home in 2006.

And basically in 2007, it was worthless.

I held on to that home until I think 2017.

and finally sold it short even all that time later.

I did not make my money back on the home.

I ended up having adverse credit history because I sold the home short.

So that was a pretty embarrassing thing that happened.

I am the first American woman to earn a medal in both the summer and the winter Olympics.

I did three Olympic Games in track and field and then won Olympic Games in bobsled.

I didn't have a sustainable lifestyle or career life after sport that was going to allow me to be able to pay a mortgage that was as high as it was.

And I learned that pretty quickly after, you know, things started to change sports-wise.

I had an injury and the market wouldn't allow me to sell the home.

And so the guilt came from this idea that I am going to have to get rid of this, that this is a place where, like, my family members come and meet.

It has been a social environment for so many people.

It's been a safe haven.

But also the idea that I'm this big time athlete and people think that I earn and I save in a certain way.

And I actually ended up using the money I had set aside for my taxes that year
