Most people think they’re broke because of income or expenses. But beneath the spreadsheets and side hustles lies something far more influential: mindset. Specifically, the scarcity mindset—a psychological pattern that convinces you there’s never enough.
This way of thinking doesn’t just shape how you spend your money. It impacts how you save, invest, earn, and even how you see yourself in relation to wealth. It’s the reason you might stash money yet feel perpetually broke. Or you cling to jobs, relationships, or financial choices that don’t serve you because you’re afraid there won’t be better options.
