Inside this conversation

This interview is an insightful trip as we get to know about Bob Wheeler and his relationship with money. He worked as a CPA but felt like he was mishandling his money. Bob felt that people who earned less than him had their finances in check. 

Looking back, he realised that his history influenced his relationship with money. His family expected him to be the provider. As a result, Bob made sure that he didn’t have money when people asked. But now, he knows better. He learned that money should be A driving force—not THE driving force—in his life. Working with this mindset meant a healthier, lifelong relationship with the money he earns and spends.

By starting small and working his way up, Bob was able to reinvent himself and unlearn his old habits and mindset. Despite all the ups and downs, his life changed the better. In the end, the journey he took has made him happier than ever. He’s a proactive player, making an impact on the world.
