Kamilah Stevenson argues that people sabotage their own wealth because real money disrupts your identity and how others treat you. Genuine wealth forces harder decisions and changes relationships, so most retreat to what feels familiar instead.
Most people don't actually want unlimited growth. They want growth that still feels familiar. There is a level of success that feels comfortable. It fits your current identity. It doesn't require new decisions. It doesn't require new boundaries. But real wealth disrupts familiarity. It changes how people relate to you. It changes the opportunities available to you, and it changes how carefully you have to think. And that level of change is very uncomfortable to most people. So what does the average person do? Well, they unconsciously shrink back to what feels normal. If you're serious about building wealth in this shift, make sure you're subscribed.
