Financial security matters, but it’s only half the equation if you never stop to ask what all that saving, investing, and planning is actually meant to make possible.

It makes a simple but powerful point: money is a resource, not the mission. If you’ve been so focused on building your financial life that you haven’t asked what kind of life you’re building it for, this post will hit home.
