086 Social Media is Destroying Your Financial Future


Listen Later

Social media has become a big part of our daily lives. We’re constantly sharing and consuming information from all over the world, which ends up becoming part of our routines, habits, and thoughts.

Although we think it doesn’t affect us, it does. Social media has created a phenomenon in which we’re comparing ourselves to other people all the time because we’re thinking about social media metrics as a self-worth metric.

Sometimes we start thinking that if we don’t have what people show us on their social media pages, then we are not special or worthy. Let me tell you–that is simply not true. This problem doesn’t only affect how you see yourself but also how you interact with the world around you, especially in financial terms. 

We need to take time to understand what we are seeing, filter the information we are consuming, and untangle what we define as the truth on social media. That's why, in this episode, I'm giving you a few tricks to avoid being caught up in the social media trap so you can make better, more informed choices that match your unique Affluence Blueprint.

Today our conversation includes:

  • The tools social media uses to stalk us
  • What is costing you in terms of the richness of your life AND the wealth you want to create
  • A few steps to keep you safe from social media
