À propos de cet audio

In this episode of Novem Nexus: Navigating Your Financial Narrative, host Greg Wagner reimagines the role of budgeting in our lives. Rather than a rigid spreadsheet exercise, Greg frames budgeting as a tool for reflection and alignment—a way to bring your money in step with your values. He explains why so many traditional budgets fail: they’re built for an idealized, perfectly disciplined version of us that doesn’t exist.
Through personal stories and practical guidance, Greg introduces the idea of a value-based budget, one that bends with life’s unpredictability while keeping us grounded in what truly matters. By categorizing spending into essential needs, aligned values, and friction points, he offers a framework for creating a budget that resonates instead of restricts.
This episode invites listeners to rethink budgeting not as a test of willpower but as an ongoing conversation with their finances—one that can reduce regret, enhance meaning, and ultimately support a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
