4 Money Truths That Will Change How You Think About Wealth (Weekly Recap)

 Are small habits keeping you broke without you realizing it? This week, we uncovered four money truths that most people ignore—and showed how facing them can change everything.


Here's what we covered:


**1. The $5 That's Costing You Thousands**


That daily $5 purchase feels harmless. But $5 a day is $150 a month. $1,800 a year. $18,000 in ten years.


Gone. On something you barely remember.


The fix isn't to never spend money. It's to see what your small purchases are really costing—and decide if they're worth it. Once you see the numbers, you make better choices.


**2. Why Broke People Stay Broke**


It's not income. It's not bad luck. It's the system—they don't have one.


Without a system, money disappears. Paycheck comes in. Bills get paid. Whatever's left gets spent. Nothing is intentional. Nothing grows.


The fix: Get a system. Know your surplus. Assign every dollar a job. Stop letting money move without a plan.


**3. The Money Conversation Nobody Wants to Have**


Not with your partner. Not with your friends. With yourself.


How much do you actually make? How much do you actually spend? How much do you actually have left?


Most people don't know—because knowing means facing the truth. But avoiding the conversation is the most expensive choice you can make. Fifteen minutes of honesty can change your entire financial future.


**4. The Lie Your Parents Told You About Money**


Work hard and you'll be fine. That's what they said. But hard work doesn't build wealth. Systems do.

You can work sixty hours a week and still be broke if your money has no direction. Your parents meant well, but they were missing half the equation.

The fix: Work hard AND build a system. Earn it AND manage it. Make it AND direct it.

3 Money Lies Keeping You Broke (Weekly Recap)

 Are you making the same money mistakes every month without realizing it? This week, I broke down three powerful shifts that can transform your finances—starting today. Here's what we covered: ** 1. Your Savings Account Is Empty Because of One Mistake** The mistake? You're saving what's left over. But there's never anything left over. Everyone else gets paid first—your landlord, your electric company, Netflix. By the time you reach the front of the line, your own money is gone. The fix: Pay yourself first. Not last. The moment your paycheck hits, savings comes out before anything else. Treat it like a bill that must be paid. **2. I Stopped Budgeting and Started Building Wealth** Traditional budgeting keeps you stuck. You track every coffee, feel guilty about every purchase, and get nowhere. The problem? You're so focused on where your money went that you never plan where it should go. The fix: Stop tracking the past. Start simulating your future. Decide where your m...
