(💸31/40) The 2-Word Money Secret Wealthy People Know (That Took Me 20 Years to Learn)

SeedTime Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)

20 years ago, I read a single book that transformed how I think about money forever. Inside was a 2-word phrase that has driven nearly every financial decision I've made since.

Here's the truth: Most people make financial decisions based on immediate gratification. They buy new cars, upgrade their gadgets, and focus on short-term pleasure while neglecting long-term wealth building. But the wealthy think differently.

🔎In this episode, we reveal:

• The powerful mindset shift that changed everything for us

• Why my millionaire mentor drove a 10-year-old car (while I had a brand new one)

• The truth about what really counts as a "luxury"

• The biblical wisdom behind building wealth slowly and strategically

• Why most people's "waiting to save" strategy never works

• The exact method we use to fund our biggest dreams (like our future beach house ministry)

This isn't just about making money—it's about building a foundation for Kingdom impact. If you're tired of living paycheck to paycheck and ready to think differently about wealth, this episode is for you.
