We explore Parkinson’s Law—the idea that your spending rises to meet your income—and how the "dopamine rush" of buying new things keeps us trapped in a scarcity mindset. From the power of charitable giving to the importance of tracking your "monthly burn rate," this episode gives you the mental frameworks to stop feeling broke and start building a legacy.

Key Takeaways:

🔸 Parkinson’s Law: Why earning more money often leads to spending more money, leaving you feeling just as broke as before.

🔹 The Dopamine Trap: Understanding why we buy things we don't need (like that flat-screen TV) for a fleeting rush, and how to pause before purchasing.

🔸 Scarcity vs. Abundance: How giving money away (even when you think you can't afford it) can actually break the cycle of feeling poor.

🔹 The Power of Vision: The story of the swimmer in the fog and why you need a clear financial "shoreline" to keep going.
