Have you ever looked back at a time when you made less money and you thought, oh my gosh,

if that version of me knew how much money I was making today, I would think I made it.

I would be totally fine.

But here's the interesting thing.

Most people feel like steady salary growth still has not solved their money problems. So let's talk

about why people with the same income can end up in such different places financially and four

habits that will keep anyone broke no matter how big their salary is. So make sure to like,

heard the term lifestyle creep, but if you kind of need an explanation, this is what it means. It's just

like slowly over time, your expectations of life and the way you spend money just keeps getting

better and better and better. The quality of your life continues to raise as you make more money,

and because of that,

you end up spending more money on those things. So as your income grows, so does your lifestyle.

And so knowing that people of all income levels experience lifestyle creep, the reality is

that sacrifices have to be made. If you are still in a process of paycheck to paycheck living, even if you feel like

you're making more money today, there has to be some sacrifices in the short term. So once you

decide that you're willing to change your behavior around money, here are four habits keeping you

broke that you may need to cut out. Okay, before we dive into those, I do want to tell you about one

of our sponsors,

Christian Healthcare Ministries. Health insurance costs are only moving one way, and that way is not down. The wait times are longer, and it's harder than ever to get anything approved. So if you feel

like the system is working against you, try Christian Health Care Ministries, a biblically based

alternative to health insurance.
