“It was almost considered rude in our family to be talking about how money is generated and how much of it is generated, and where it goes. We were sort of told to mind our own business…”  Folks, we’re finishing our 2022 Winter Series on a high with a guest with an amazing tale that shows the undeniable power of changing your mindset to change your life…    Today’s special guest – Alex – grew up in a household where discussing money was actually considered….rude :O. And this seed grew into a tree of bad money habits and sadly, fed into his alcoholism.   Expecting to “rent forever” and living cheaply so he could splurge on the weekends, Alex wasn’t thinking about the future, or family, at all…  So how has he completely transformed from this state, full of years of traumatic money lessons and spendthrift behaviours, into his new life rich with self-funded travel experiences, financial freedom AND a positive mindset towards money?! (We will say he had a “knight in shining armour” by the name of Sabrina who helped steer him in the right direction 😉)   And did we mention he had also gone 474 days without a drop when we spoke to him?! Amazing stuff.  Folks this story is so mind-blowingly raw and honest that we just want to give both Alex (and his Mum AND all his pillars of support) a gigantic hug through the soundwaves.  Tune in now to learn how planning has allowed Alex to not only change his entire financial story but has helped him to beat his addiction.  So.much.gold!!!!! 👏👏👏      P.S And folks, make sure you stay tuned for next week’s episode ‘cos it’s a HUGE milestone for us….Yep.
