Stop Paying the Status Tax

You are not poor because you are lazy. You are poor because you are paying a

status tax. Most people stay broke because they optimize for looking rich,

not becoming free. Freedom is built in silence through boring choices repeated for a long time.

You spend to be seen. You are financing a character, not a life.

New shoes, new phone, new fits, but savings stays at zero.

Real wealth is privacy and the option to say no. You have no system. If you do not assign

your money a job, it gets hired by cravings. Track every peso for seven days,

then plan it before payday. A budget is a map. You confuse income with progress.
