You're Still Broke (It's Not because of Your Income)

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Nobody talks about this, but staying broke is a choice. You are not broke because of your income. You are broke because of these three things. First one is you choose how you feel right now over what you actually want. Like ordering food, buying things you don't need, choosing comfort over control.

[00:00:14]It's never one big mistake. It's a hundred small ones every single day quietly becoming your lifestyle. Number two is you are still blaming things outside of you. Your college, your background, the system. And look, some of that is real, but the second you keep blaming it, you had over every bit of control you had. If everything is the problem, nothing is in your hand. Number third is you are avoiding the boring phase. Saving feels slow, learning feels frustrating, consistency feels invisible. So, you keep looking for something that is faster. But, that boring, uncomfortable stretch, that's exactly when your life starts to change.

[00:00:48]And, frankly, I have done all three. I overthought instead of acted. I delayed what I knew I should do. I chose comfort when I needed discipline. Nothing changed until I stopped this, knowing this, and actually started doing something about it. If you are also trying to figure things out and build your life, follow along. We are doing this together.
