What Up fam! Believe me, I know what it feels like to look at your bank account and wonder how you’re ever going to make real money, especially in a recession. We’ve ALL been there, too. I remember my “building” years—grinding through long hours, feeling like no matter how hard I worked, my money was slipping through my fingers. Here’s what I learned on my way from pennies to #prosperity. You can absolutely manifest wealth, even in tough times. Let’s break down a few things that made all the difference for me.
1. Rewrite Your Money Story
Back in the day, every time I looked at my bills, I would say, “I ain’t got it” That kept me stuck. One day, started saying, “I’m building my wealth,” even if it felt silly at first. I wrote it everywhere—in my phone, on sticky notes around my room, even on my coffee cup! And over time, that mindset stuck. I started seeing each dollar as part of my “wealth-building journey.” Now, instead of stressing, I get excited, knowing every little bit I save is a step closer to my millionaire dreams.✨
2. Invest in Yourself First
I remember wanting to invest in stocks and feeling so frustrated that I couldn’t drop a couple thousand dollars right away. Then I realized—the most powerful investment isn’t in the market; it’s in me. So, I started picking up new skills. I’d find free classes, watch YouTube videos, and follow people who were killing it in my field. Every skill I picked up became a tool that allowed me to make more money. And when the economy went shaky, I had options. Remember, a skill is something you own; it doesn’t matter what’s happening in the world—you’re recession-proof when you’ve got valuable knowledge.
3. Open an Individual Development Account (IDA)
If your income level is you’re looking for a way to grow your savings without the pressure, look into opening an Individual Development Account (IDA). I opened one of these years ago when my income was tight. Here’s the deal: IDAs are matched savings accounts, so every dollar you save is matched with funds, which can double or even triple your savings. The funds are typically matched by local nonprofits or government programs, and you can use the money for things like education, buying a home, or starting a business. I used mine to invest in skills and equipment, which paid me back in income. It’s one of the best ways to build without stress!
