Wendy McConnell [00:01:07]:

Hello and welcome to the Wealth Beyond Riches podcast with your host, Abbey Henderson, where we talk about enriching your life in every way. I'm Wendy McConnell.


Well, hello there, Abbey. How are you?


Abbey Henderson [00:01:19]:

I am well. How are you?


Wendy McConnell [00:01:21]:

I'm good.


I'm good. Like, we're right in the thick of summer now. Like, it's summer.


Abbey Henderson [00:01:25]:

We're getting there. It was just Memorial Day, and at least unofficial.


Wendy McConnell [00:01:31]:

It's summer.


Abbey Henderson [00:01:33]:

Yeah. Well, and. And at least in Boston, we had our first actual, I think, weekend day with sunshine, so.


Wendy McConnell [00:01:41]:

Oh, yeah, that's pretty rare.


Just about everywhere right now, but, yeah, it's been brutal this year.


Abbey Henderson [00:01:48]:

Yeah. I saw something that if it rains, I think this coming soon Saturday, which it's supposed to, it will be 11 consecutive Saturdays in a row where it has grained at least part of the day.


Wendy McConnell [00:02:01]:

Oh.


Abbey Henderson [00:02:04]:

It really.


Wendy McConnell [00:02:04]:

It really helped, you know, holds back some of the yard work, too.


Abbey Henderson [00:02:09]:

It does, it does. I had a lot of sympathy for, you know, the guys that are trying to mow lawns, and they now have, like, multiple weeks worth of. Of lawns.


They.


Wendy McConnell [00:02:18]:

Oh, wow. Yeah.


Abbey Henderson [00:02:20]:

Yeah.


Wendy McConnell [00:02:21]:

Well, you know, Mother Nature, what are you going to do?


Abbey Henderson [00:02:25]:

You're going to find ways to work with her, not against her.


Wendy McConnell [00:02:28]:

That's right. She's the boss, so. She's the boss. We're going to be talking about summer today, correct.


Abbey Henderson [00:02:35]:

Correct. We are going to be talking about a summer. I don't know if it's a reset because technically it's just barely started, but it's. It's more of a, I guess a reboot, so you can start up and go through Summer with. With a few little tweaks that maybe will strengthen your financial foundation.


Wendy McConnell [00:02:59]:

All right, so kind of almost like a. Like a pre plan.


Abbey Henderson [00:03:03]:

A little bit of a pre plan. Okay. Otherwise you get to August and you're like, well, I should have.


I should have done a few things over the summer. So.


Wendy McConnell [00:03:11]:

Yeah.


Abbey Henderson [00:03:12]:

Yeah.


Wendy McConnell [00:03:12]:

Okay, so what do we need to focus on this summer then?


Abbey Henderson [00:03:19]:

So, well, as usual, you know, this is not going to be surprising to anyone that's listened to the podcast, but at Abaris, we think that, you know, wealth is much more than just money. So this is going to be some five ideas for little mini microhabits you can change. And it's so that you can spend the summer living with more intention, more joy, and more alignment. And we're going to just focus on June, July and August.


Wendy McConnell [00:03:50]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:03:52]:

So we're going to scale it down to just the summer.


Wendy McConnell [00:03:55]:

Okay, so what do I need to do to make this the best summer ever?


Abbey Henderson [00:04:01]:

Or maybe at least the most financially resilient, joyful summer ever?


Wendy McConnell [00:04:05]:

Well, you know, I like money, so money makes me happy. So let's get into it.


Abbey Henderson [00:04:09]:

All right, so these are just five relatively quick, relatively simple things that can really sort of set you up for success going into, you know, the end of 2025. So going into the fall. So I have five for you. They're. They're sort of around creating potentially better habits.


Things that are going small, things that are going to have big impact lead to more resilience and less over overwhelm. So you ready for the first one? Yes, it's my usual first one. It's Reconnect with your why it is always good to go back. And before we get into too many of the tactical details, like what matters to me this summer, it's so easy when we're sort of on the hamster wheel or, you know, just going from, you know, one fun thing, hopefully to the next.


In the summer, it's. It's really easy to lose focus of what are we doing this all for?


Wendy McConnell [00:05:10]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:05:10]:

So, you know, number one is what, you know, it's June. What would make this summer great?


What matters to me. It's a great time to revisit your values and your vision. I would recommend if you've done some of the, you know, exercises we've recommended along the way, pick a new one, because it can be a totally different perspective. So if you've done, you know, I think in the last episode we talked about writing your 100th birthday toast and that could give you some Information about things that you value. If you've done that one, maybe do our value card exercise.


You know, download the value cards, sort them out, try to come up with, you know, help. Use that to help you come up with a list of what you value. So try to find a new way to approach the topic. And it's actually pretty surprising that when you look at it from a new perspective, you often learn new and surprising things.


Wendy McConnell [00:06:10]:

Okay, so do you think that sometimes things change or that you maybe, I want to say misunderstood before, but, like, you know, sometimes things shift, I guess I think it.


Abbey Henderson [00:06:23]:

I think it can be both. I think things do evolve and things that maybe weren't as important before. Can, you know, focus. Like, for example, if you're, you know, in a situation where maybe you have family members that are going through a struggle with their health, health, maybe that, you know, moves that value up on your list. It's something that's become more important when you see for yourself, when you see what they're going through.


So, you know, that could be one example. I also, you know, another thing you can do, instead of doing a different exercise, just do it in a different place. You know, teach, take. Take your value cards to the beach and do it in the beach. It's.


I think there's a aspect of neuroscience to it as well, just getting in a different place. Your brain is just going to process things a little bit differently.


Wendy McConnell [00:07:11]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:07:11]:

Potentially.


Wendy McConnell [00:07:12]:

Well, so what about, you know, moving from my desk to the kitchen table?


Does that. Does that count?


Abbey Henderson [00:07:18]:

Just barely.


Wendy McConnell [00:07:18]:

Okay. All right, I'll go to the beach then.


Abbey Henderson [00:07:22]:

Go find a beach or, you know, a great sunset or something. Something inspiring, I think.


Wendy McConnell [00:07:29]:

Okay, got it.


Abbey Henderson [00:07:30]:

Yep. So that's one idea.


Another idea, which is kind of fun, is to choose a theme word for the summer. So maybe you choose the word adventure. And so you. If I would recommend you put the word someplace where you can see it. So maybe you put it on your refrigerator on a sticky note, and you look at it when you have breakfast and you think to yourself, how, if adventure is important to me this summer, what could I do that's a little more adventurous today?


Wendy McConnell [00:08:00]:

Okay. I like it.


Abbey Henderson [00:08:03]:

Cool. What would your word be?


Wendy McConnell [00:08:05]:

Active, I think.


Oh, I love that. I got to get my husband a little more active. Yeah.


Abbey Henderson [00:08:12]:

You're signing up your husband?


Wendy McConnell [00:08:14]:

Well, I told.


I did tell him last week. I said, you know, we're going to be doing bike rides, we're going to go hiking, we're doing stuff because he works at, like a. He's on his feet all day. So he comes, he's like, I'm tired, I don't want to do it. And I'm like, I get it.


But you're. I also don't want you, you know, I don't want you to be in bed at 65 and I take care of you for the next 15 years.


Abbey Henderson [00:08:34]:

Yeah.


Wendy McConnell [00:08:34]:

So it's very selfish motives, but wow.


Abbey Henderson [00:08:39]:

You can motivate each other because you don't want to be in a bed at 65 and have someone taking care of you either.


Wendy McConnell [00:08:44]:

No, absolutely not. So, yeah, active. That's what we're going to do.


Abbey Henderson [00:08:47]:

Active. Love it.


Okay, my next thought on this is your favorite journal. I know you're not a journaling fan, so I do like to journal.


Wendy McConnell [00:08:59]:

Just sometimes it's harder to push myself to do it.


Abbey Henderson [00:09:01]:

To do it.


Wendy McConnell [00:09:02]:

Yeah.


Abbey Henderson [00:09:03]:

So in this case, keep it short, keep it simple. Set a timer, 15, 20 minutes and just journal on. Well, you can journal on your word. You know, what, what does active mean to me?


Wendy McConnell [00:09:18]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:09:19]:

Or you can make it a little bit broader and just sort of brainstorm, what do I want more of this summer and what do I want less of this summer?


Wendy McConnell [00:09:29]:

I like that.


Abbey Henderson [00:09:31]:

So we want to. It can sometimes feel overwhelming if like we talk about, you should start a journaling practice. This is a one time, 20 minute journal.


Wendy McConnell [00:09:41]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:09:43]:

So hopefully those are some ways to sort of just set the stage for the summer. Sort of tee everything up to make your decisions from that place.


Wendy McConnell [00:09:53]:

Okay. All right.


Abbey Henderson [00:09:54]:

Now that we've got that, my next thing is going to be more tactical. And it's. I kind of like to think about this also in the framework of Atomic Habits by James Clear, which is, you know, I know it's one of the, the books you really like. I like it too. So tip number two is to automate one thing can be anything.


It kind of goes back to the atomic habit cue of making something easy.


Wendy McConnell [00:10:23]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:10:25]:

So automation is always your friend. Anything that you don't have to think about and it's no longer really on your to do list. And it's building great habits.


Those are wonderful things to do. So I have a bunch of ideas, you know, and we've talked about some of these before. But one thing you could do is automate some monthly savings. So you could do it through your paycheck, talk to your payroll department and say, I want $50 per paycheck to go to my savings account.


Wendy McConnell [00:10:57]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:10:58]:

And you can do it that way or you can sort of earmarket mentally the savings Account for something special like a trip in August or, you know, whatever it is. But anything that you can automate, savings wise is great. So along those lines, you could also increase your retirement plan contribution, like your 401k1%. And we can do this just for the summer or just for the rest of the year. It doesn't have to be like a permanent irrevocable decision that you're going to do it forever.


Wendy McConnell [00:11:34]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:11:35]:

The great thing is you'll probably forget and leave it alone. And it will be forever, at least as long as you're at that job.


Wendy McConnell [00:11:40]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:11:42]:

So that's like, that's sort of the hidden bonus.


But it does, you know, you don't need to go into it thinking it's forever.


Wendy McConnell [00:11:49]:

Mm, okay, good.


Abbey Henderson [00:11:51]:

One more. This is one of my favorites because I lose track of time. Set up your credit card payments to automatically pay the minimum amount due.


So you will, if you do that, you will never have a late payment. So great for your credit score. Great for those of us, like myself, who look, you know, look down, look up and it's two weeks later. And you had all these intentions of doing these things. So that can be a real lifesaver too.


And again, these are really small things. Yeah, just pick one and try it. The other one that's kind of fun is, you know, maybe set up a small recurring donation to a cause that you love. And bonus points, by the way, for all of these if you can tie it back to your vision or your values. Oh, so like, for example, if your vision for the summer was to do something to help local families, Maybe you do $10 a week donation to the local food pantry.


Wendy McConnell [00:12:58]:

Okay. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. See, I thought I was just racking up points because I. I did almost all of the things you discussed, but apparently that's not how we were scoring, so I lost again.


Abbey Henderson [00:13:11]:

It's not about keeping score.


Wendy McConnell [00:13:13]:

Oh, okay, good. All right, then I'm not losing. No, I totally get what you're saying. Yes.


Make sure it's something that is, you know, tied to the summer you're looking to have.


Abbey Henderson [00:13:25]:

Exactly.


Wendy McConnell [00:13:26]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:13:27]:

Exactly. And you know, if it.


The goal is that it also has some, you know, long term beneficial financial impact for you as well. Ready for number three?


Wendy McConnell [00:13:40]:

Let's do it.


Abbey Henderson [00:13:41]:

Tip three, Unsubscribe and simplify. So this one is if, you know, we're sort of looking at the atomic habits model.


This one is about reducing exposure to things that might suck you into scrolling through your phone, hitting add to cart just the barrage of constant stimulation that's coming your way. So the first thing is a. Basically a digital declutter. So maybe set aside, I don't know, 30 minutes, an hour and unsubscribe from all those promotional emails you get. I get sucked into this too.


You know, I see the I'm sort of on, like a summer dress kick, and so I see, like, one of my favorite brands send their email to my inbox. I'm like, oh, that dress is cute. Click, just unsubscribe.


Wendy McConnell [00:14:44]:

You're right. That solves that problem.


Abbey Henderson [00:14:46]:

If you don't see it, you can't buy it.


Wendy McConnell [00:14:48]:

Exactly.


Abbey Henderson [00:14:50]:

Yep. So unsubscribe from those emails. Unsubscribe or cancel subscriptions you're not using.


For those of us with iPhones, a lot of times you'll. You'll subscribe to an app and it might be like an annual subscription. It's like 40 bucks. And you're like, I'm going to use this app. But they auto renew.


So go through your list and see, like, what's coming up for renewal that, you know, maybe used for the first couple months, but now you're not really. You've moved on to something else. You're not using it.


Wendy McConnell [00:15:24]:

Yeah. It's nice when they send you that reminder email, but they don't always do that.


Abbey Henderson [00:15:29]:

No, they don't. They don't. And you know, it's true of a lot of. Of anything that auto renews, really, whether it's magazines, newsletters. You know, a lot of those substack newsletters are on auto renew, too.


I've got. I used to get sucked into the. Well, you. You save 10% if you subscribe for the year. Well, that's great.


If you, you're going to actually use it for the whole year and you're going to be able to evaluate whether it's coming up for auto renew in time for the whole next year.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:05]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:16:06]:

I'm a little bit more of a fan of the monthly renewal stuff and giving up this, this saving 10% or whatever it is.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:13]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:16:15]:

But keeping track of those can actually.


Can actually add up to some savings.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:20]:

You're right. I do have a couple of substacks that I follow.


Abbey Henderson [00:16:24]:

Yeah.


And you know, the substack, you can. Sometimes I look at those and I look at whoever is creating the content. I really want to support that person.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:34]:

Well, and I was just going to say it's a little bit of charity at the same time, because like you said, you know, I'm trying to Be supportive of things that I'm a fan of.


Abbey Henderson [00:16:42]:

Right.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:42]:

Yeah.


Abbey Henderson [00:16:43]:

Right. And, you know, in that case, maybe you look at it partially as. Are you supporting something that you care passionately about?


Wendy McConnell [00:16:49]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:16:50]:

Which case, it's aligned with your values, you're good to go.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:53]:

So 14 is okay then?


Abbey Henderson [00:16:57]:

If you truly love all those.


Wendy McConnell [00:16:59]:

I don't have 14. I don't have them. Wanted to see what you would say. No, I have, like, three, maybe four, but.


Abbey Henderson [00:17:06]:

Yeah, yeah, no, I. I'm right there with you.


Wendy McConnell [00:17:14]:

So.


Abbey Henderson [00:17:15]:

And then, you know, also turn off any notifications you don't need. Don't turn off those auto renewal notifications, but, you know, all the other notifications that are popping up on your phone or dinging in your computer. You know, we've. We've talked about this recently, that life can feel overwhelming, particularly at the moment, and the less coming at you, the happier your nervous system will be.


Wendy McConnell [00:17:39]:

You know, it's interesting that you talk about this. I do have a. I have a TikTok problem, and I could spend half a day on there. I mean, it's. If the little lady comes up and says, maybe you should take a break.


And I'm like, you swipe you, lady. But I did do something recently. In January, I left one of the main social media places. And I gotta tell you, it's been a breath of fresh air. I don't feel the judgment.


I don't feel. I mean, I kind of feel left out of some things. Um, but anybody who needs to get in touch with me knows how to do that.


Abbey Henderson [00:18:15]:

Yeah.


Wendy McConnell [00:18:16]:

So, yeah, I have to tell you.


I mean, and at first it's very difficult, but then you're just kind of like, huh? Because people are like, are you coming back?


Abbey Henderson [00:18:26]:

I'm like, nope. No, I'm good.


Wendy McConnell [00:18:29]:

My one addiction is enough.


Abbey Henderson [00:18:32]:

Well, you want to what? That actually brings up a great idea. Maybe take a. A little summer sabbatical. So tell everyone on whichever social media channel you want less of in your life, say, hey, I'm going offline for, you know, until Labor Day.


If you need me, you know where to reach me. Otherwise, see them?


Wendy McConnell [00:18:53]:

Right. There you go. All right.


It's a nice little test.


Abbey Henderson [00:18:58]:

Yeah. Well, and again, it's not permanent. Just try it. Try it for a month.


Even try it for two weeks and see.


Wendy McConnell [00:19:05]:

Yeah, well, two weeks, you still probably might have a little bit of an addiction. You might, you know, Jones. And to get back. So maybe the month.


All right, Sounds good.


Abbey Henderson [00:19:17]:

All right, reset tip number four. Schedule a summer money date.


Wendy McConnell [00:19:24]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:19:26]:

And you can do this just by yourself.


You can do it with your partner. You can call up your financial advisor and say, hey, do you want to get a glass of wine? Or whatever. Whatever it is, I highly recommend you pair it with something fun or, even better, something you hardly ever let yourself do. And this goes back to the atomic habit tip of making it satisfying.


Okay, so for me, I never really let myself eat ice cream sundaes, so I would go do a money date for an ice cream sundae.


Wendy McConnell [00:20:03]:

Abbey, that makes me so sad. I mean, ice cream makes people happy.


Abbey Henderson [00:20:07]:

It does. It does.


And just give me one little excuse, and I'm right there for it.


Wendy McConnell [00:20:14]:

Well, all right, all right. That's your. That's your thing. But it makes me very sad for you.


It's summertime. You need ice cream.


Abbey Henderson [00:20:22]:

Well, the puppy needs ice cream, too. That's usually my excuse.


Wendy McConnell [00:20:25]:

Okay, good.


I'm glad to hear it. But, yeah, I understand what you're saying. Like, you know, obviously don't spend, like, too much money, but, you know, maybe make it a lunch date and then get a manicure after.


Abbey Henderson [00:20:35]:

Yeah, exactly. Pedicure.


So you have sandal feet.


Wendy McConnell [00:20:40]:

Okay. I like it.


Abbey Henderson [00:20:41]:

I should say.


Wendy McConnell [00:20:42]:

Yeah.


Abbey Henderson [00:20:43]:

Yep. And things that you could potentially. I mean, anything's fair game in terms of what you want to talk about, but some ideas might be to do review of the first half of the year. You could look at, you know, where you've spent money. Is it aligned with your values and your vision?


Is it moving you towards your goals? Are you on track for your goals? I think it's always a good idea to look at what's going well. I think we often have a tendency to sort of focus on the things that we want to change or the things that aren't going well.


Wendy McConnell [00:21:21]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:21:23]:

But it's really important, I think, to look at what is going well, because that's what you want more of. Whatever's going well. You want more of going well.


Wendy McConnell [00:21:32]:

Right.


Abbey Henderson [00:21:33]:

You don't want to lose track of it.


So you could do that. You could go back and if you had done sort of reset tip number one and reviewed your values and your vision, you could talk about that. I think it's always great to talk about what you're hoping for this summer, talk about your little. The other little changes that you're making. It's always good when you actually tell someone else you're making these changes because then they hold you accountable.


Wendy McConnell [00:22:02]:

Yeah, I hate that part.


Abbey Henderson [00:22:06]:

Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, I think, you know, set it having intention around this Conversation again, even if it's with yourself. Sitting down and doing this, I think is really important. So.


And you got to make it fun.


Wendy McConnell [00:22:22]:

Okay. I'm all in for the fun.


Abbey Henderson [00:22:24]:

I'm all in for the fun too.


Wendy McConnell [00:22:27]:

I have been waiting for reset number five.


I mean, I cannot. I mean, just my mouth has been salivating.


Abbey Henderson [00:22:37]:

Yeah, I went, I went back and forth on my budget number for this one.


So reset number five for the summer is to create a no regret spending rule. And this is a little bit related to the atomic habits of making something satisfying. Satisfying and easy.


Wendy McConnell [00:23:02]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:23:04]:

So the way you do this is you ask yourself what is one thing that you spend money on ideally that you tend to spend it in the summer on that always brings you joy.


So maybe it's my ice cream sundaes or maybe it's a few lobster rolls or a weekend away by the water.


Wendy McConnell [00:23:31]:

Okay, so this is something we should think about ahead of time, what you're saying.


Abbey Henderson [00:23:36]:

Ideally.


Wendy McConnell [00:23:37]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:23:38]:

Because if it truly brings you joy, then my recommendation is that you give yourself a green light to spend up to 3% of your summer income on that thing or towards that thing, depending on what you're thinking.


Wendy McConnell [00:23:57]:

I know what that is. 3% of my summer income.


Oh, that's right. I was going to figure that out on my money date. I'm sorry.


Abbey Henderson [00:24:07]:

And it doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't have to be exact. Can be your best guess.


You know, it can be the things we mentioned. It could be fresh flowers. It could be going to the farmer's market, a beach badge. Absolutely anything that, like, you're just like, it's summer. This makes me really happy.


If I don't do it now, I'm not doing it in January.


Wendy McConnell [00:24:29]:

Right. Maybe new tires on the bike. Could be a new bike. That's.


That's a lot though.


Abbey Henderson [00:24:38]:

Well, you could be towards the new bike.


Wendy McConnell [00:24:40]:

Okay.


Abbey Henderson [00:24:41]:

Or maybe accessories for the new bike.


Wendy McConnell [00:24:43]:

A little water bottle holder.


That's cool. A bell.


Abbey Henderson [00:24:48]:

I like the bell. But it really has to be something that brings you joy.


Wendy McConnell [00:24:53]:

Okay, Gotcha.


Abbey Henderson [00:24:54]:

It's a little hard for me personally to feel the joy in the tires.


Wendy McConnell [00:24:59]:

Well, it's too. But it. Well, that's so you can ride, though. Riding is what.


What brings you joy. Yeah. So I think I'm a little better at this than you, Abbey. You.


Abbey Henderson [00:25:12]:

You probably are.


Wendy McConnell [00:25:15]:

I kid. I kid.


Abbey Henderson [00:25:19]:

So those are the five tips. Five micro. I think we're calling them five micro resets for the summer.


Wendy McConnell [00:25:25]:

All right, that sounds good. Now we just have to figure out where the money is coming from.


No, I'm just kidding. Okay, so Abbey, what is the, what's the wrap up here? What do we got to keep in mind? What are the things to focus on for the summer?


Abbey Henderson [00:25:42]:

I would say focus on keeping it simple and positive.


We do not want any of these to be giant projects because then you will probably won't do them. So, so simple, positive, quick, easy. That's number one. Number two, none of this is about being perfect. Experiment, look at everything, play with everything as an experiment.


None of these are irrevocable, life changing decisions in and of themselves. This is a three month thing. And then celebrate your small wins. Like I said earlier, you don't want to lose track of all the great things that are happening and the great outcomes of making these little small changes. So I think those are, those are the three things that I would say I'd want people to take away.


And try one thing. Just go try one thing and let us know what you tried and how it went.


Wendy McConnell [00:26:37]:

All right. All right. I like all of that.
