Money Lessons from Toy Story: Comparison, Teamwork, and Contentment
Description
What can Woody and Buzz teach us about money, mindset, and even marriage?
In this episode of Movie Money Mashup, David and Laura dive into the timeless classic Toy Story (1995) to uncover financial and life lessons hidden in Andy’s toy box. From jealousy and comparison to teamwork and contentment, this family favorite is packed with wisdom that applies to your money, career, and relationships.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why comparison (like Woody vs. Buzz) breeds discontent—and how gratitude can fix it
- How teamwork multiplies impact, in both money and marriage
- Why fear can paralyze your progress, and how creativity leads to better results than “throwing money” at problems
- The danger of putting your hope in stuff—and where to root your identity instead
Whether you grew up quoting Buzz Lightyear or are watching Toy Story with your kids for the first time, you’ll walk away with practical ways to apply these lessons in your financial journey today.
