Rich and Remote with Alex and Karla Booth

Mindful Spending and the Quiet Power of Financial Control


Listen Later

In this episode of Rich & Remote, Karla Singson shares a personal and honest reflection on money, self control, and the hidden link between spending habits and freedom. She opens up about how moving homes forced her to confront years of impulse buying, emotional spending, and the quiet stress that often follows financial success.

Karla walks through her shift toward mindful spending and how learning to pause before purchasing became a powerful tool for reclaiming control. What started as a practical experiment turned into a mindset shift that reduced anxiety, sharpened focus, and created space for what truly matters.

Throughout the episode, Karla connects money decisions to the larger Rich & Remote lifestyle. When spending becomes intentional, businesses feel lighter to run, personal choices become clearer, and freedom stops feeling like a moving target. This conversation reframes financial discipline not as deprivation, but as self respect and long term leverage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why saying no to unnecessary spending builds confidence and clarity
  • How impulse buying creates hidden mental and emotional costs
  • The link between mindful spending and reduced stress
  • Why financial control leads to better decision making in business and life
  • How intentional money habits support time freedom and peace
  • Why real wealth is about choice, not consumption
  • Karla also shares real life examples of emotional spending, social media influence, and the internal dialogue many founders experience once they reach a certain income level. Her reflections offer a grounded reminder that freedom is not about how much you earn, but how consciously you choose.

    If you are building a remote business and want your money to support your life instead of quietly controlling it, this episode will help you rethink your relationship with spending, success, and self trust.
