If you’ve ever thought…
“I’m just bad with money,” or “I’ll never be debt-free,” you’re not alone, but you’re also not stuck. The truth is, many people never reach their financial goals not because they’re lazy or incapable—but because they believe lies that quietly sabotage their progress. In fact, CNBC asked Americans what financial freedom really means, and the answers had nothing to do with being rich. Let’s bust the 5 biggest myths that keep people from building wealth and show you how to finally claim your financial freedom.
❌ Lie #1: “I’m Just Not Good With Money”
This one keeps more people stuck than almost anything else. But money skills aren’t something you’re born with, they’re learned.
Just like you wouldn’t expect to know how to drive a stick shift without lessons, managing money takes practice, support, and the right tools.
✅ Truth: With the right plan (and some grace), anyone can learn to manage their money.

❌ Lie #2: “Financial Freedom Is Only for Rich People”
You don’t need a six-figure salary or a trust fund to build financial independence. What matters more is consistency, clarity, and a system that helps you use what you already have wisely.
💡 This blog breaks that myth wide open.
✅ Truth: Financial freedom is about control, not income.
Small, intentional steps like tracking your Mojo Number, building an emergency fund, and automating savings are what get you there.

❌ Lie #3: “I’ll Start When I Make More Money”
Waiting for the “perfect time” is how years go by without progress. If you don’t know how to manage $500, managing $5,000 will feel just as chaotic.
✅ Truth: The best time to start is now. Even if all you can do today is set up a $10 auto-transfer to savings, it counts.

❌ Lie #4: “Budgeting Means I Can’t Have Fun”
Nope. Budgeting isn’t about deprivation—it’s about intention. When you know how much you can spend freely each week (a.k.a. your Mojo Number), you stop feeling guilty and start enjoying your money on purpose.
✅ Truth: The right plan gives you freedom and fun. You just need to know your numbers.
❌ Lie #5: “It’s Too Late for Me”
Whether you’re 25 or 65, it’s never too late to take control of your money. You can still pay off debt, build savings, invest, and shift your financial trajectory.
✅ Truth: The only “too late” is never starting.
The moment you decide to take action, you’ve already started your comeback.
