EP | 762 - Everything I Thought About Having a $12.5 Million Net Worth Was Wrong

Author: Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger July 20, 2026 Duration: 21:37

If you would've asked me ten years ago what having a $12.5 million net worth would feel like...

I would've gotten almost every answer wrong.

I thought it would feel exciting.

I thought I'd wake up every day feeling like I'd won the game.

I thought I'd want a bigger house.

A nicer car.

More stuff.

More status.

I thought I'd finally feel like I'd "made it."

Instead...

Life got quieter.

I became more interested in protecting what I'd built than chasing more.

The things that bring me the most joy still don't cost any money.

And one of the strangest side effects of all...

I'm happier than I've ever been, but not for any of the reasons I thought I would be.

I'll explain why I'm happier than I've ever been and what this stage feels like to me, why you should have a number you're striving for, and more!
