How to spend (featuring Dan Haylett)

August 14, 2025 · 30 min

Show notes

We're often told how to save money, but never how to spend it. Plus, what does spending money wisely even look like? In this episode, Dr. Tom is joined by author, financial planner and fellow podcast host, Dan Haylett, to try and answer just that. Join Dr. Tom and his guests as they challenge us to rethink what is really *worth* spending money on - and how joy, purpose and making memories should be at the forefront of it all. Not just material possessions.
