I grew up lower class.
Lived in a motorhome/motels and come from a “frugal” family.
The biggest difference I notice from growing up, to now, is how time is valued.
Broke people will spend 3 extra hours doing something to save $10.
People making decent money will spend $30 to save 1 hour of time.
They view money as a tool, not a scarce resource.
They know the true scarcity is their time and how they allocate it.
Sure, at the start, you won’t be able to buy time.
Work your ass off to make money.
Use that to invest in skills + knowledge to increase your earning potential.
But once you make the transition from poor to not-so-poor, drop the broke mindset.
Stop valuing your time at $20/hour.
Stop sacrificing health for money.
Stop prioritizing money over time.
If you’re like me, your family conditioned you to think money is scarce.
You need to brainwash yourself into believing it’s everywhere.
That’s when you start to see opportunities and develop the balls to take risks.
