(💸35/40) The Hidden Money Hack: How to Afford Your Dreams By Spending Less on Things You Don't Actually Care About


Listen Later

Ever feel like your dreams are slipping away because you "can't afford them"?

We're about to flip everything you think you know about affording what you love.

In this episode, we reveal the counter-intuitive truth about funding your passion projects and bucket list goals - without earning a single dollar more than you do right now. You'll discover how a wannabe pilot unlocked his childhood dream through one simple spending shift, and how you can use the same principle to transform your financial reality.

Here's what you'll learn:

  1. The "Priority Stack" method for identifying which expenses are secretly holding you back

  2. Why creating "friction" in your spending could be the key to unlocking your dreams

  3. How we discovered we could afford to live at the beach (and why most people never realize what's possible)

  4. The uncomfortable truth about your Amazon app (and why deleting it might change your life)

  5. A revolutionary approach to evaluating expenses that goes beyond basic budgeting

Plus, we share our personal revelation about Starbucks spending and how facing this truth led to better decisions - without guilt or shame.
