If you desire to no longer live pay to pay, this post will help you achieve this This is a common problem! Most couples know they earn good money, but have nothing to show for it YOU have no idea where your money is going and YOU end up feeling poor, stuck and powerless YOU may feel a desire to no longer live this way BUT. YOUR actions do not reflect this desire YOU still believe within yourself (consciously or subconsciously) that getting down to $0 is acceptable The creation of this belief may not have been your fault, but it is most definitely your responsibility The brain is a powerful tool, a tool that YOU can use For the clients I work with, I take them through the creation of what is called the “Morning Mind-Set” It is a daily (morning) ritual that calls them into their future self, calls them into their “new reality” and helps to create their new normal A new reality that no longer accepts a $0 in the bank account If you are living pay to pay, it is time for you to get off ZERO and create your “new reality” STEP #1- Reflect on your current actions I want you to take some time and think about the fact your actions show that you believe on some level that getting down to $0 is acceptable Where and when do you believe this became acceptable? STEP #2- Consciously pick your new bottomline Then consciously, I want you to pick a figure, a figure that will now be your new bottomline Start small if you have to, let's say $500 is now your new bottomline STEP #3- Decide, this is my “new reality” Just make a decision, from now on, that no matter what… “I will not let my account go below $500” It may take a few goes but keep telling yourself what your new bottomline is, anything under that will NOT to be accepted Once you are consistent with this, realise the power of what you have just done… So what will be your “new normal”?

Lol this is such elitist bullshit. The disconnect between this person and the reality of literal millions of people is just astonishing. “It’s just your lazy attitude and poor planning that allows you account to fall below $500! It has nothing to do with the soul crushing cycle of poverty and/or the systemic racism/classism that actively work to keep you where you are! Never mind that you work 3 jobs, have no health insurance, and have never seen a paycheck over $800 in your life. Silly peasants”

The psychology of money and wealth is so different and complex for everyone. There is no one-size fits all mentality for any demographic, culture, socioeconomic status or any 2 people no matter how many similarities or differences there are. Everyone’s got money problems no matter how rich or poor you are- the key is finding what brings you the most joy and working toward THAT not some silly number in a bank account. PS- a number in a bank account isn’t silly if THAT is what helps you acquire what matters most to you.
