Money and Mindset: How to Stop Thinking Like You’re Broke

Here’s the truth:

Most people stay broke not because they don’t make money — but because they don’t think about money the right way.

If your money mindset is stuck on survival, instant gratification, or “I’ll never get ahead,” then guess what? You won’t.

Changing your money mindset is the first step toward financial freedom.


What Is a Money Mindset?

Your money mindset is simply the way you think and feel about money.

  • Do you see it as a tool or as a stressor?
  • Do you believe you can build wealth, or do you think “people like me don’t get rich”?
  • Do you spend to feel good now, or do you use money to buy future freedom?

Your mindset decides what you do with money — and what money does with you.


The Broke Mindset Traps

Here are a few signs you’re stuck in “broke thinking”:

  • Living paycheck to paycheck while upgrading your car or phone
  • Saying “I deserve it” every time you swipe the card
  • Believing debt is normal and unavoidable
  • Blaming others instead of taking control

Sound familiar? Don’t worry — you can unlearn this.


How to Build a Strong Money Mindset

  1. Shift from Scarcity to Abundance
    Instead of thinking, “I’ll never make enough,” start asking, “How can I earn more?”
  2. Delay Gratification
    Wealthy people don’t buy every shiny toy right away. They let money grow first.
  3. Surround Yourself with the Right Voices
    If everyone around you is broke and negative, you’ll stay stuck. Find people and content (like the Dude 😉) that push you forward.
  4. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
    Even saving $20 a week shifts your brain from “I can’t” to “I am.”
  5. Tie Money to Freedom, Not Stuff
    Every dollar saved or invested is a vote for your future freedom — not another gadget gathering dust.

The Dude’s Take

Your bank account is a reflection of your mindset.
Change the way you think about money, and your actions will follow.

Because once you stop thinking like you’re broke, you’ll stop living like you’re broke.
