Money Answers Part 15 - Why are you living check to check? #money #financialfreedom #shorts
In this short, Kevin Simpson responds to a listener who earns a decent income yet feels stuck. He identifies a hidden habit: the belief that simply earning more money will automatically resolve the feeling of stagnation. Simpson argues that this belief is ineffective because the listener isn’t explicitly allocating money to its intended purposes before spending. By pre‑assigning funds to specific categories (e.g., savings, bills, discretionary spending) and tracking those allocations—whether on a paper statement or a digital dashboard—the person gains a clear, black‑and‑white view of what money is truly available for each purpose. This transparency creates a sense of progress and freedom, allowing the individual to see the next actionable step and break the feeling of being stuck.
