I recently discovered something that’s changed my life, so I know it’s going to help so many of you as well. I had to be willing to look at a money habit that I’ve been avoiding for a while now: my spending. I’ve struggled with my spending my whole adult life. Despite my income increasing over the past 20 years, I still felt like I couldn’t get ahead.
How many of you believe that when you’re earning more, your money problems will just disappear? I know I did, and I often speak to women earning six figures who think the same. We think we need to spend less, but the truth is, it isn’t necessarily about the numbers, or even avoiding spending more than you earn. It’s about what you want to create.
Tune in this week to discover the truth about overspending. I’ve spoken about spending and overspending before, but I recently had some deeper insights into this area. So I’m sharing a new way to calculate if you’re overspending and what to do if you’ve been ignoring your spending for fear of what you might uncover.
