Jason decided to save a few hundred dollars (even though he could more than afford it) back at the end of 2019 on flights to the Philippines to see his 97 year old grandmother and pushed the trip to the spring of 2020. Well, we all know what happened, a global pandemic and Jason never got to see his grandmother before she passed.
He comes on the show to talk about the regret and raw emotions he feels about the financial decision he made that led to him not seeing his grandmother before her passing, why we need to use money as the final filter since so many of us default to savings, and how we can move beyond the question of survival once we have the financial means to do so.
