In Episode 17 of Wisdom in Wealth, Brendan Frazier unpacks Principle #3 of Happier Spending from Happy Money: Buying Time.

This episode includes:
- A story of a high-performing executive who outsourced chores to be present with his kids.
- Practical suggestions like using direct flights, mobile services, or investing in social activities.
- The “Next Tuesday Test,” a simple filter to assess if a purchase will consume or free your time.

your time might just be your most valuable asset.
