Description:

How much money is enough? And what’s the point of saving if you never actually enjoy it?

In Episode 476 of the Mandarin Monkey Podcast, we get into money, rainy-day savings, financial freedom, lifestyle creep, travelling, helping your parents, creating memories for your kids, and what being “wealthy” actually means.

Then the conversation moves into something even deeper: where is home when you’ve lived between different countries and cultures for years?

We talk about Taiwan vs the UK, feeling like you belong somewhere, how living abroad changes you, raising multicultural kids, and whether sending the kids to Taiwan for Mandarin immersion could help bring their Chinese back.

As always, it’s a naturally bilingual English + Mandarin conversation, real-life Mandarin listening practice without the textbook conversations.
