Live Below Your Means: The Key to Lasting Wealth


Listen Later

In this insightful clip from Money Moves, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap break down why living below your means is the ultimate wealth strategy—and why modesty might be your greatest financial asset. They discuss money traps that can derail your financial progress, the true cost of home ownership, and why that flashy car or expensive watch may not be worth the investment.


Rashad revisits the importance of financial organization and planning for your family’s future, urging us all to consider what would happen if the unexpected occurred. The trio doesn’t hold back as they share personal stories, from passing up on luxury cars, to resisting peer pressure to “flex,” and putting family first with smart estate planning.


Ian talks about the discipline it takes to maintain a modest lifestyle, even when tempted by the trappings of wealth, and Troy emphasizes building a solid financial legacy over superficial purchases. The hosts also challenge common financial myths—like always buying, not leasing, a car—and share their honest takes on what truly matters for financial security.
