Many people operate with outdated or downright false money beliefs passed down from parents, society, or personal experience. These misconceptions can quietly sabotage your progress, keeping you stuck in the cycle of working hard and still falling short financially.
It’s time to challenge these myths, shift your mindset, and build a healthier relationship with money—starting today.
