Feel Like You're Always Broke? Here’s What to Do To Stop Being Broke! (9 Key Tips)

Let's talk about what to do if you feel like you're always broke! Becoming wealthy, achieving financial success, living life on your own terms - these are all things that many of us want for ourselves when we think about our futures.
The reality is many will never actually realize their dreams of becoming financially successful, but not because they can't. But because sometimes people behave in ways that don’t promote their financial success, often without even realizing it. They sabotage their financial futures, ensuring that they stay broke… pretty much forever.
Building wealth is about putting in the hard work, planning, consistency, discipline, and accountability and very importantly, maintaining good money management skills - regardless of your current financial situation or how much you currently earn.
If you are in the space where you are always broke, I'm sharing 9 key tips to help you get over that feeling and start turning your finances around!
It requires is intention, focus, and a plan but if you are ready, you can go from broke to having money in the bank and a solid financial plan for your future.

The stop competing piece is so true! I see so many people gathering material things for NO reason other than to say they own it.

As a woman of color this channel has really helped me in so many ways as I was not poroperly educated on finances one thing I’m sooo glad my mom told me was to not get into credit card debt from her experience and I literally only have 2 credit cards that I pay on! My goal is to really take hold of my debt 2022!

It’s not that people are “acting” in counter intuitive ways… it’s that majority of people are in poverty and there is NO way to escape it if you have to pay rent, car notes, etc. you have a better chance of getting rich when you don’t have to have responsibilities

[@brynnk2518]

I think this is fair perspective to take into account for building wealth , and I also think there is always a way to be in a better position then you already are . For some people building wealth just comes more quickly and for others I think it just comes more slowly but in whatever circumstance you are in there are opportunities to build more wealth in someway and that's always worth listening to.

[@nikkiknows1545]

This is so very true. I’ve been used to going out to get a different car once any signs of problems start to arise…now that I have changed my mindset, I have literally purchased a good, reliable vehicle that I’ve owned for 8 years now with no car note and I am so happy. Do I want a new car? Absolutely! Do I need a new car? Nope. I’m saving my money and spending it on other things that bring more value to my life, especially since I am working from home during the pandemic.

[@adriancarrillo2749]

@@nikkiknows1545 Same! I was planning to buy a car on 2020. I paused it cuz I’ve been on Home office for two years. I cook more at home, spend less on transportation, etc.

[@nikkiknows1545]

@@adriancarrillo2749 That’s exactly what I’ve been doing too!! 💪🏾 It’s hard at times to not buy something on impulse but we can do it.
