163. Disney’s Ichabod & Mr. Toad: Money Lessons on Impulse Buys, Greed, and Choosing Better Counsel
Description
In this fall Movie Money Mashup, we unpack Disney’s The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad to reveal timeless money principles. From “motor mania” to the Headless Horseman, we connect impulse, greed, and fear to real-life choices like credit cards, co-signing, and rushing big purchases—plus how wise friends and patient plans keep you out of trouble.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why unchecked desire + no discipline = financial chaos (Toad’s “manias” in real life)
- How impatience and status-seeking fuel debt—and what to do instead
- The role of community: choosing counsel like Mole/Rat/Badger (and avoiding “weasels”)
- A simple filter for big buys: want vs. readiness vs. long-term security
- Practical swaps for the season: cash-flowing holidays without credit cards
