    Raggedy Ass Rich | The Soft Life costs Money (Let's Be Real)

    Everyone loves the idea of the soft life. Slow mornings, peaceful homes, self-care routines, and ease. But let’s be honest… That lifestyle costs money. In this episode of RaggedyAssRich, we break down the real financial cost of the soft life, why social media makes it look effortless, and how chasing the aesthetic without a plan can lead straight to debt and burnout. We talk about: What the “soft life” actually costs in real dollars Why the soft life aesthetic is way more high-maintenance than it looks How social media sells a curated fantasy, not real life Whether you can build wealth and live well at the same time How to create a soft life feeling without going broke Why financial peace is the real soft life Practical ways to enjoy life now while still building for the future This isn’t about shaming anyone for wanting nice things. It’s about being realistic, strategic, and intentional with your money so your version of the soft life doesn’t come with stress, guilt, or credit card debt. Because real softness isn’t silk robes and expensive candles. It’s peace, stability, and options.  🎙️If you’re trying to live well and build wealth, this episode is for you.

    Raggedy Ass Rich | Side Hustles: When They Help and When They Hurt

    Side hustles are sold as the solution to everything, but they’re not always helping. In this episode of Raggedy Ass Rich, we break down the truth about side hustle culture: when it actually makes sense, and when it’s quietly burning you out. We talk about: Why needing a side hustle to survive is a systemic failure, not a flex How to tell if a side hustle is worth your time, or stealing it The difference between skill-building and exploitation Why “passive income” is mostly a myth (at least at first) When a side hustle is helping you move forward, and when it’s just a band-aid This isn’t anti-work. It’s anti-exhaustion. If you’re juggling extra income streams and still feel stuck, this episode will help you pause, evaluate, and decide what actually serves you.  🎙️Raggedy Ass Rich ~ real money talk, without the hustle-culture nonsense.

    Raggedy Ass Rich | The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Money

    We all lie to ourselves about money. Not because we’re stupid or irresponsible, but because nobody taught us how to talk about it honestly. In this first episode of Raggedy Ass Rich, I’m breaking down the biggest money lies we repeat that keep us stuck, stressed, and second-guessing ourselves: “I’ll start saving next month.” “I’m just bad with money.” “I don’t need to look at my bank account.” “I deserve it” (as an excuse for spending we can’t afford). “I’ll make more money eventually.” “Everyone else is doing fine but me.” We talk about how social media distorts reality, why comparison is a trap, and how avoiding your finances only makes things worse. More importantly, we talk about replacing these lies with truth. Realistic, compassionate truth that helps you move forward without shame. This isn’t finance-bro advice. This isn’t hustle culture. And this definitely isn’t about pretending you’re rich. It’s real money talk for people who are learning, surviving, and trying to do better with what they have. If you’ve ever felt behind, embarrassed, or overwhelmed by money. This episode is for you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why “I’ll start next month” keeps us stuck. How money avoidance leads to worse decisions. The difference between deserving joy and spending from stress. Why comparing your real life to social media is harmful. How to start being honest with yourself about money. Without shame. About RaggedyAssRich RaggedyAssRich is real money talk for people who didn’t start with money. No scams. No gurus. No shaming. Just honesty, strategy, and learning in real time.
