Legacy Over Luxury | Zee Barfoot | Growing Money with Sean Trace

Growing Money with Sean Trace

I sit down with CPA firm owner Zee Barfoot to talk real money mindset, not just spreadsheets. We get into why driving a paid off beater can beat flex culture, how to avoid credit card traps, and the non negotiables like paying your taxes on time, building an emergency fund, and getting simple term life insurance. We jam on couples and cash, aligning goals before budgets, and why treating yourself like a business, know your numbers, track your progress, changes everything. We touch Dave Ramsey, feelings over formulas, and how purpose and legacy guide every financial move. Zee shares starting from zero, building a firm in Arkansas, and choosing the right partner and habits.

If you want practical steps for self employed taxes, mindset shifts that reduce money anxiety, and a plan to grow, save, and protect your family, this episode delivers. Listen for clear takeaways on goals, cash flow, emergency funds, insurance, and paying the government without drama, plus a candid conversation about therapy, resilience, and building a life you are proud of.
