Introduction to the Video

Money is a topic we often avoid discussing, yet many of us are deeply curious about how others manage their wealth. In this thought-provoking video, Carl Richards explores our tendency to judge others—and ourselves—based on spending habits and perceived net worth.

Carl reflects on how wealth is often misused as a proxy for happiness, even though these are two very different measures. He also shares a powerful story about understanding the deeper motivations behind seemingly extravagant expenses, highlighting how personal context transforms judgement into empathy.

The video delves into the emotional side of money, including feelings of shame, guilt, and blame, and offers a simple but impactful solution: open conversations. By recognising these emotions and learning to talk about money, we can move past judgement and foster understanding.

If you’ve ever found yourself curious or critical about others’ financial choices, this video provides valuable insights to help shift your perspective.
