Comparison and the Ultimate Money Delusion

Paul reflects on comparison and delusions about wealth

If you think Paul Ollinger can’t draw poignant and funny lessons about money from the 1996 box office smash, "Jerry Maguire," you are sadly mistaken. On this very special spring break episode of Crazy Money, Paul reads a couple of his recent reflections on comparison and the delusions we all cling to about the power of wealth.

Spoiler alert: money—past a certain point—will not complete you. And comparing yourself to your friends (or enemies) will make you miserable. Full stop.

Here’s what we’ll be talking about today:

  • Stop Keeping Score: How to Quit Measuring Success by Net Worth, Fancy Titles, or TikTok Views

  • Money Isn’t What You’re Missing: What I’ve learned after years of studying money and happiness

You should share this episode with all your friends. And then follow Paul on Instagram.
