We discuss the importance of paying yourself first, spending less than you earn, and making smart financial decisions for the future. Whether you're looking to escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, understand the psychology of wealth, or develop a millionaire mindset, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you take control of your financial future. Join us to uncover why mindset matters more than income when it comes to building lasting wealth.
