If your home feels chaotic and your bank account feels like it won't stop leaking, they're probably

connected.

When I was at my most cluttered, like when I was really, really struggling with the mess in my

home, I was also super broke, which is ironic, right?

I think that's the fascinating thing about a scarcity cycle.

And I know because I was stuck in it,

every time I would get paid, my brain would tell me, oh, the money is going to be gone quickly.

You're going to have to buy something before it's gone. Even though I didn't have a lot of money,

I would like death by a thousand cuts nickel and dime myself. So it would be this $5 thing or, oh my gosh, this is on

sale. Better get it quick. And what I didn't realize at the time where all of these $1 and $2 and $10

things were adding up to thousands of dollars over time, but also adding up to massive amounts

of clutter. And when you're in the scarcity cycle,

it does. It keeps you broke and it keeps your house full. And it's really hard to see because it doesn't

feel like you have a lot of money or are buying a lot of things. But in fact, it's all of these

tiny purchases that are contributing to both financial ruin and a cluttered home.

The goal in today's podcast is to walk you through a real plan to do a like a no spend challenge.

And to help you shift your mindset from that scarcity cycle into seeing your money as a tool as something that's job

is to earn you more money, not just trade for items that will collect dust in the corner

in your home. I hope you're going to feel really inspired and more importantly, I hope this

podcast changes your life. Hey, Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast. If you're new here, I hope this podcast changes your life.
