You’ve been saving. Fixing credit. Watching every video.
 But the truth is—you’re not stuck because you’re lazy.
 You’re stuck because nobody gave you a real strategy.

In this episode, Jasmine breaks down:

• Why “doing all the right things” still leaves you spinning your wheels
• How checklist culture is keeping Black women broke (and tired)
• The difference between owning a home and building wealth through real estate
• Why her former client Danielle came back 5 years later—and what changed the game for her
• A real answer to the question: Should I pay my collections?

If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally build a plan around what you do have—not what you’re missing—this episode is your wake-up call.

🧠 Key Lessons:

• Checklists don’t build wealth. Strategy does.
  You can have good credit, a decent savings, and still not be ready. The missing link? A plan that works for your life.
• Motivation isn’t enough. Math matters.
  You feel broke because nobody showed you how to make the numbers work.
• Saving alone won’t get you a property.
  You need to position your income, your credit, and your timeline the right way.
• Don’t just pay collections blindly.
  Jasmine explains why paying without strategy can hurt your score and what to do instead.

🔥 Quote of the Episode:

“You’re not lazy. You’re not confused. You just haven’t been shown the full picture.”
