What if the reason you're struggling to build wealth isn't your income—but the pressure to keep up with everyone else?

In Part 3 of the F.I.S.C.A.L. Debt Framework™, Luzy King explores Status Debt—the debt people take on to appear successful through home renovations, new cars, degrees, and lifestyle upgrades that don't actually improve their financial future. Through client case studies and personal stories, Luzy shares how the fear of being "behind" can lead women to make expensive financial decisions that don't align with the life they truly want.
