Maybe a thought pops...

Dear Reader, Last week I started a membership at a spa. For $109/month (tip not included) I can access the spa Monday–Thursday and get one service each month. My first visit included a 90-minute massage. Next month, I'm going in for a facial. Now here’s the part that might surprise you. I paid for the six-month contract using a 0% APR credit card. Right now, I don’t have a sinking fund specifically set aside for this expense or the extra cash flow on a monthly basis to cover the cost. My 0%...

And she shared that she has been wondering whether being highly sensitive means she simply doesn’t have the capacity to increase her income right now.

Dear Reader, One of my clients—a first-gen single mom in her early 30s—came to me convinced she had a spending problem. She was carrying close to $40K in credit card debt. Her credit score had dropped. She was working two jobs. Sleeping five hours a night. And her internal narrative was: “I need to be more disciplined.” “I just need to stop messing around.” “This is my fault.” But when we ran what I call a Minimum Income Audit, we found that her income was below what’s realistically required...
