Good Life Project · How Much Money Is Enough? Your Confusing Money Questions Answered. | Leisa Peterson · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

And it turns out they're kind of very different things.

And let me give you an example.

My husband and I have always been pretty frugal, and I had an idea of how much money we spend on an annual basis.

But what started to become really apparent is that the assets that we have normally, we just look at the money in the bank or the savings that we have.

But I started realizing that there are so many more assets in life than I was giving credit for.

And for us, it might look one way.

We had an Airbnb.

We got really into home exchange.

started to realize that we've done 48 home exchanges.

And it's really funny because we realize now that we could travel all over the world and barely spend, as long as we have miles from our credit cards for our flights, we could travel and live more luxuriously through home exchange with people around the world.

But it wasn't just about home exchange.

It was about the fact that

We have these ideas of how much money we're going to need, and yet we've never sat down to think, well, what does that actually look like for me?

What does my life going to cost this year, next year, and beyond?

What are my fixed expenses?

So that would be like if you have a mortgage or you have certain things that are fixed in place, those things aren't changing so much.

What are the variable expenses?

Right?

Most American families have not spent time understanding what the enough number is for them.
