Welcome to another eye-opening episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! I’m Mel Abraham, and today we’re tearing down the myths that social media, Instagram, and pop culture sell about wealth—the fancy cars, designer wardrobes, and mega-mansions. Real wealth isn’t about showing off; it’s about saying “no” to the things that drain your potential and your bank account.

In this episode, I reveal the nine things that truly wealthy people absolutely do not waste their money on. Far from being “cheap,” the rich invest intentionally in quality—so their purchases last, their homes serve their lifestyle (not their ego), and their assets quietly grow while others chase status symbols and debt.

This isn’t about sacrificing joy—it’s about asking, “Does this get me closer to my dreams and financial freedom?” Every dollar you spend is either building your money machine or someone else’s. I give you the framework, tools like the free Lifestyle Cost Calculator, and actionable strategies to keep your spending intentional and aligned with your vision.

Get ready for an episode packed with practical advice that can help you master your money!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why buying cheap actually costs you more in the long run
• How the wealthy avoid “home ego” spending and live within their means
• The dangers of chasing status and loud debt instead of quiet wealth
• Why luxury transport are often chains, not freedom
• The real odds behind lottery tickets and gambling
• How to avoid financial penalties and banking fees that erode your wealth
