Let’s be honest—no one really wants to say they want to be rich. It feels cringe. Out of touch. Kind of… gross. But wealthy? That hits different. In this episode of The F. Word, Priya Malani breaks down the real difference between being rich and being wealthy—and why high-earning 30-somethings are done chasing flashy status and instead want freedom, clarity, and control. If you’re making good money but still feel like you’re just getting by, this episode will help you see what’s really missing (and it’s not another raise).

Tune Into This Episode to Hear:

• Why “rich” feels fleeting—and “wealthy” feels freeing

• What it really means to be a HENRY (High Earner, Not Rich Yet)

• How to shift from paycheck-to-paycheck to long-term financial power

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too risk-averse to invest,” this one’s for you. In this episode of The F. Word, Priya Malani breaks down one of the biggest myths in personal finance—that investing is inherently risky. Spoiler: it’s only risky if you’re doing it wrong. Priya explains the difference between investing and gambling, why long-term investing is actually perfect for the risk-averse, and how even Wall Street’s so-called experts get it wrong most of the time. With stories, stats, and a Warren Buffet mic drop, this episode makes the case that boring investing is the most powerful kind.
