Show Notes:
How do you retain and manage the money you have right now without falling into the lifestyle trap? I see it all the time: the minute somebody's business hits some momentum or they hit a certain milestone, they start looking at your peers who are making the amount they just built up to, and they start comparing your lifestyle to those peers. They think that because someone else in the same income bracket as them can afford those things, they should be able to as well. But there's a reason I call it a trap, and I'm going to share why with you.
