15. “I have a $1 million trust fund and I’m scared to spend money on food”
Andy is terrified of spending money. His shoes have holes in them. He tells me that even buying food might mean that he’s not able to pay his bills at the end of each month. Oh, and he inherited a house and a $1.1 million trust fund.

Show Notes
Andy and Kate bring in $200,000 a year and live rent free. Andy feels bad about money every day. His partner, Kate, says she wants to work as a financial team, but she walks on eggshells. Andy wants to make her happy, but he has a poor relationship with money.
And that’s not all. Andy has $1.1 million dollars in a trust fund, managed by a financial advisor, and he still has holes in his shoes. I asked them, “Do you want to turn 65, have $10 million, and still worry about getting dessert?”
Andy will have to decide if he’s going to let his old money stories determine the next 50 years of his life.
