  • 131 II Self Over Money? This One Mistake is Stealing from You
    Oct 13 2025

    SHOW NOTES:

    In this podcast episode, Diana talks about a big mistake people make with their money. She tells us a story about her grandmother who kept seeds in a jar. Her grandmother explained that if you plant all the seeds now, you won’t have any for later. This teaches us that we need to save some money for the future instead of spending it all on things that make us feel good right now, like takeout or a new phone.

    Diana explains that when we spend too much today, we might wake up later and realize we don’t have enough money for our big dreams or to pay off debts. She calls this "spending the seed grain" because, just like seeds, if we use it all up now, we won’t have anything left for tomorrow.

    Diana suggests that for one week, we can try to think before we spend. We should ask ourselves if what we want to buy helps us today or if it's better for our future. By making smart choices, we can help our money grow and be happier later on!
