Keep The Change

How to Escape 'Status Mode' w Mikey Smith (GuardianSmith.co.nz)


Listen Later

You’ve escaped survival mode and now you’re being marketed to to give your excess cash to the machine. Wait, what machine? You’re about to find out. 


Have you ever felt like you're working hard just to keep up appearances, keep up with the Joneses(who TF are they anyway?), to get a better title, to feel important? That’s status mode; a trap where self-worth is tied to possessions, titles, or external validation. 


In this episode, we’ll explore how to recognise when you’re stuck in this cycle and provide practical strategies to move toward genuine freedom and purpose (the top 2 tiers of the pyramid). 


Discover how to align your spending with your values, prioritise experiences over things, and build a life that’s meaningful to you; not what society expects. It’s time to stop chasing and start living.


Note - if you haven’t listened to the podcast ‘The pyramid that explains your situation’, you may want to for some pre-context. 


I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy. Generate KiwiSaver Scheme has sponsored Keep The Change to help me reach more people and make this a reality. Cheers Generate. Head to generatekiwisaver.co.nz/change to find out more.
