The Real Reason You’re Not Rich (And Why No One Wants to Tell You)
Everyone thinks they know why they’re not rich. They tell themselves:
“I don’t make enough money.”
“The economy is bad.”
“Rich people have advantages I don’t.”
And sure, those things might be true. But here’s something no one — your friends, your family, your favorite finance guru — is actually telling you:
The biggest reason you’re not rich isn’t just money. It’s your mindset.
Sounds cliché, right? I get it. You’ve heard the whole “millionaire mindset” thing before. But let’s be honest: most of those advice pieces just tell you to “think positively” and “work hard” without giving you anything real.
So let’s get real.
I’m going to break down the exact reasons why you’re not making serious money yet, why most people never will — and, most importantly, what you can actually do about it.
Most people would rather look rich than be rich. If I gave you $100,000 right now, what would you do? Would you invest it? Start a scalable business? Pay down debt aggressively and reinvest the difference? Or would you buy a new car? Upgrade your apartment? Flex on Instagram?
