hello welcome to our channel Top 10s You
0:03
Should Know Today we're talking about
0:05
something that affects millions of
0:06
people but rarely gets the attention it
0:08
deserves Your mindset about money You
0:12
see the way you think about money
0:14
determines how you earn it spend it and
0:16
grow it But here's the twist Most of us
0:19
carry limiting beliefs that silently
0:21
sabotage our financial growth These
0:23
mindsets seem harmless even logical but
0:26
they quietly keep us poor year after
0:28
year So today let's explore the top 10
0:31
money mindsets that keep you poor
0:33
without knowing it If you're ready to be
0:36
honest with yourself and maybe feel a
0:38
few uncomfortable truths then keep
0:41
watching because this might just be the
0:43
wakeup call you need One I'll start
0:46
saving when I make more money This is
0:49
one of the most dangerous lies we tell
0:51
ourselves We believe that saving is only
0:53
possible when we have extra But here's
0:56
the truth If you can't save $10 out of
0:58
$100 you won't magically start saving
1:01
when you're earning $1,000 or $10,000
1:04
Why Because spending rises with income
1:08
The habit of saving isn't about how much
1:10
you earn It's about how disciplined you
1:12
are Every time you delay saving you
1:15
strengthen the habit of spending
1:17
everything And over time that mindset
1:19
becomes your default Rich people save
1:22
before they spend Poor mindset spend
1:24
first and save whatever is left usually
1:27
nothing So don't wait for a promotion to
1:29
start saving Start now even if it's a
1:32
little It's the habit that matters
1:36
Two money is the root of all evil This
1:39
belief is so ingrained in our culture
1:41
that many of us subconsciously feel
1:42
guilty for wanting wealth We've heard it
1:45
growing up Money causes greed destroys
1:47
relationships and turns good people bad
1:50
But let's clear something up The actual
1:52
quote is "The love of money is the root
1:54
of all evil." Money itself is neutral
1:57
It's a tool It reflects the person who
2:00
uses it A good person with money can
2:02
feed families build schools and create
2:04
jobs A bad person can use it to exploit
2:07
Blaming money for evil is like blaming a
2:10
knife for a stabbing If you carry this
2:12
belief deep down you might self-sabotage
2:14
your chances of earning more because you
2:16
don't want to become one of those greedy
2:18
people
2:20
Change your story Money isn't evil It's
2:22
powerful And you can use it for good
2:25
Three I'm just not good with money This
2:28
one sounds humble even honest but it's
2:31
actually a limiting identity Saying "I'm
2:33
not good with money," is like saying
2:35
"I'm not good at walking and never
2:37
learning to walk." Nobody is born
2:39
financially literate We learn through
2:41
effort mistakes and persistence The
2:44
moment you label yourself as financially
2:45
incompetent your brain stops trying to
2:47
improve It becomes an excuse to avoid
2:50
learning budgeting investing or even
2:53
asking for help But what if you replace
2:55
that thought with "I'm learning to get
2:57
better with money." That shift opens up
2:59
possibility It gives you permission to
3:02
grow And remember every financially
3:04
successful person started where you are
3:07
They just refuse to stay there Four I
3:10
deserve this after a hard day It's been
3:13
a rough day Maybe you worked overtime
3:15
dealt with rude customers or just felt
3:17
emotionally drained So you say to
3:20
yourself "I deserve this." And boom
3:22
you're buying a $90 dinner or adding
3:24
items to your online cart you don't
3:26
really need This is emotional spending
3:29
It feels like a reward but it often
3:31
leads to regret The truth is you do
3:33
deserve comfort rest and love but not at
3:36
the cost of your future That quick
3:38
purchase won't fix burnout In fact it
3:41
adds financial stress Instead of
3:43
spending to feel better ask "What do I
3:45
really need right now?" Maybe it's a
3:47
walk a nap a conversation not a credit
3:49
card swipe Replace the reward mentality
3:52
with self-care that doesn't cost your
3:54
peace of mind Five budgeting is too
3:57
restrictive
3:58
Many people think of budgeting like a
4:00
diet They imagine it means cutting out
4:02
all the fun and living miserably But
4:04
here's the truth A budget is freedom
4:07
It's a plan that gives every dollar a
4:09
job It doesn't say don't spend It says
4:12
"Spend with purpose." Without a budget
4:15
your money controls you With one you
4:17
take control Budgeting isn't about being
4:20
cheap It's about being intentional Want
4:22
to take vacations buy nice clothes
4:25
retire early You need a budget Stop
4:28
seeing it as a cage Start seeing it as
4:30
the road map to your dreams And remember
4:32
freedom isn't doing whatever you want
4:34
It's being able to say yes to what truly
4:36
matters Six I'll always be in debt It's
4:39
normal This mindset is one of quiet
4:41
resignation You see debt everywhere in
4:44
student loans car payments credit cards
4:46
and you start to believe it's it's just
4:48
a fact of adult life But normal doesn't
4:51
mean healthy Debt robs you of your
4:53
future income It keeps you working for
4:56
yesterday's decisions And the worst part
4:58
when you believe it's unavoidable you
5:00
stop fighting it You stop making extra
5:02
payments stop learning strategies and
5:05
accept the weight But what if just what
5:08
if you made a plan to live differently
5:11
People have paid off massive debts on
5:12
small incomes Not by magic but by
5:15
refusing to believe that debt is a
5:16
lifelong sentence You don't have to be
5:18
normal Be free Seven I'm not rich so
5:22
investing isn't for me This belief keeps
5:25
so many people from growing wealth They
5:27
think investing is only for people in
5:29
suits with thousands to spare But the
5:32
truth is the earlier and more
5:34
consistently you invest even tiny
5:35
amounts the more wealth you build
5:38
Compounding doesn't care if you're rich
5:41
It rewards time With apps today you can
5:44
start investing with as little as $10
5:46
You don't need to be an expert You just
5:48
need to start Waiting until you're rich
5:50
to invest is like saying you'll plant a
5:52
tree once it's fully grown Start small
5:55
start now and let time do the heavy
5:57
lifting Your future self will thank you
6:00
Eight more money will solve my problems
6:03
We often believe that if we just had a
6:05
little more money everything would be
6:07
okay But studies show that people who
6:09
get sudden windfalls like lottery
6:11
winners often go broke again Why Because
6:14
the problem isn't the amount it's the
6:16
management If you can't manage $1,000
6:18
you won't magically manage $10,000
6:21
More money amplifies your habits Good
6:24
habits create security Bad habits create
6:27
chaos Instead of chasing more build a
6:30
system Learn to track plan and allocate
6:34
what you already have Then when more
6:36
money comes and it will you'll be ready
6:38
to grow it instead of lose it Nine rich
6:42
people got lucky This belief is rooted
6:44
in envy and helplessness It says they're
6:46
rich because they had connections or
6:48
luck or family money And sure some
6:52
people do have advantages but focusing
6:54
on that blinds you to the work risks and
6:56
discipline many wealthy people put in It
6:59
turns you into a victim And victims
7:01
don't take action Instead of asking why
7:03
them ask "What can I learn from them?"
7:06
Study their habits their mindset their
7:09
sacrifices Because believing success is
7:11
only for the lucky stops you from even
7:13
trying Shift from envy to curiosity and
7:16
your mindset will start unlocking
7:18
opportunities instead of resenting them
7:20
10 It's too late for me This one breaks
7:25
my heart People in their 40s 50s or 60s
7:28
often feel like it's too late to fix
7:29
things But let me tell you it's never
7:32
too late You are not behind You're just
7:34
starting from where you are There are
7:37
countless stories of people who turned
7:38
their financial lives around in midlife
7:40
and beyond What matters isn't where you
7:43
start It's whether you start at all
7:45
Whether it's saving budgeting investing
7:47
or just learning something new take one
7:50
step then another Because time lost is
7:53
gone But the time you have left that's
7:56
yours Don't waste it thinking you're too
7:59
late Use it like it's your second chance
8:01
because it is And there you have it The
8:05
