@selfmadeheiress: Money can buy you a lot of things and as a high achieving first gen the best thing it bought me was the space to take a step back from the constant hustle and stress of financial limitations. I made a video a few weeks ago on the mindset recalibrations you have to have when you reach different levels of success. One of the hardest to recalibrate around is relaxing once you reach the treshold of financial security. If it weren’t for the pandemic and my body/mind literally shutting down due to the pace I was going at I think I would have continued to operate from a scarcity mindset even after obtaining abundance and security. #firstgen #mindset #financialabundance #selfactualization
"Money doesn't buy happiness" is the biggest scam sold to middle and working class people

Money buys spontaneity. When I was sad and needed a change I moved to nyc and did a solo trip. People can’t just do that lol ( and it’s not just liquid money it’s the credit history and savings so I could get an apt quick,)

I feel I’m still in that hustle mode now. Paying down debt, still early in my career. It’s very stressful trying to find a balance.

Money has truly changed my life. When I had to struggle, my nervous system was always hijacked. I rarely think about money now.

Same here in university working 3-4 jobs, so much sacrifice. I got a good job after. But after graduation, it still took for me a few years to be financially stable because I had no financial literacy. So yes money is important, but money literacy even more

The only nuance I would add is that some high-paying jobs require a constant state of stress—bankers, high-powered lawyers, etc. So a manageable job that gets you money will help!!

Money buys happiness because it buys a lifestyle that leads us to what fulfills us, if buys joys, time, relaxation. It is key to freedom ❤️✨ that’s why if we love money, it loves us back. Remove the negativity from that. thanks for this real take ❤️

jup! the only reason why I could self actualise and become self employed and beat my chronic illness symptoms was not discipline and willpower. IT WAS MONEY. 💀

I never knew I had trauma with money, like my relationship with money was shaped by my immigrant Latina mom living paycheck to paycheck but still gave me everything I needed 🥺 I feel like wanting money is “bad” but also am really bad at budgeting and spending what I don’t have on items that make me feel good (shopping and spending money recklessly may have been a trauma response I’m realizing) literally having to work on this relationship too 😭
