In Episode 443 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re breaking down a dangerous lie that keeps people stuck: the illusion of money scarcity. So many people — especially those who’ve struggled growing up — believe they’ll never have enough. That money is this rare, magical thing other people get, but they don’t. And that mindset? It’s the first thing keeping you broke.

If you grow up poor, it’s easy to believe money is impossible to get. You see your parents struggle. You see bills pile up. You work a job and barely scrape by. The world teaches you that wealth is for someone else. That’s not just disheartening — it’s a mental trap that blinds you to opportunities.

Money isn’t rare. It flows constantly. People are making it every second, all around you. The difference? They believe they can. And they take action.

In this episode, I break down how money is everywhere if you’re willing to hustle. From side gigs and freelancing to flipping, fixing, building, and selling — the avenues are there. People turn trash into cash. People make real money with basic skills — mowing lawns, cleaning gutters, detailing cars, sewing patches, sharpening blades, reselling gear, and more.

You don’t need permission. You don’t need a fancy degree. You need drive. And you need to let go of the idea that you’re destined to stay broke.

It’s easy to say “I can’t” when you’ve never seen someone succeed up close. That’s why you have to push yourself to see the possibilities — and then act. The first $10 you earn outside your job from your own hustle? That’s the start of seeing through the illusion.

Stop waiting. Stop telling yourself stories about why you can’t. The world won’t hand you anything, but it will pay you if you provide value.

If you’re stuck thinking there’s no way to get ahead, you’ve already lost. Flip the switch. See the abundance. And go take your piece of it.
Listen to Episode 443 and let’s tear down the lie of money scarcity — together.
