You've probably heard it all before, "Just stop buying lattes." "Get a better job." "Cut out everything non‑essential."

But what if some of the most popular money advice doesn't actually work, at least, not for real life or in your current season of life?

On this episode, I'm breaking down six common pieces of financial advice that sound good but often fall flat, plus what to do instead to actually make progress with your money. 

 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Why "stop buying coffee" won't make you rich
  • Smarter ways to increase your income (beyond "get a better job")
  • The truth about saving vs. investing
  • How to cut expenses without feeling deprived Why it's never too late to start building wealth
  • How talking about money openly can transform your finances 

AND MORE

Real wealth isn't built on trendy tips, it's built on smart, sustainable habits. Take the advice that fits your life, leave what doesn't, and keep moving forward.
