#158: 11 Habits That Are Secretly Making You Look CHEAP (Even If You're Not)

Because none of that has ever made anyone look cheap. What actually does? How cheaply you're willing to sell access to yourself — your time, your standards, your self-respect. And here's the irony the whole podcast video runs on: the harder you try to look expensive, the cheaper it reads. These are 11 habits doing it quietly, without you even realising — and how to drop them. Not by shrinking, covering up or taking up less space. By valuing yourself louder. Watch till the end, then pick the ONE that's you and fix just that this week.CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro01:16 — Habit 103:11 — Habit 205:30 — Habit 307:34 — Habit 410:21 — Habit 512:02 — Habit 614:46 — Habit 716:49 — Habit 818:37 — Habit 920:15 — Habit 1021:27 — Habit 11********************✨Subscribe to the most positive newsletter on the internet: ⁠https://adete.substack.com/ [https://adete.substack.com/]

#157: The REAL reason Indian Women Stay STUCK In The Poor Indian Trap

Calculate your Freedom Fund: https://adeted.wixforms.com/f/7470046343512196129 [https://adeted.wixforms.com/f/7470046343512196129]Most of us were never taught how money actually moves through our lives — only how to earn it. And that's exactly why so many women earn well and still don't feel free. Because it was never about how much you make. You can earn ₹2 lakh a month and still be broke by the 30th. What decides your life is where your money goes after it comes in — the path it takes. And there are only three: survival, status, and freedom.In this podcast video I break down all three, so you can figure out honestly which one you're on right now. We'll talk about assets and liabilities (and why nobody taught us this in school), why the middle class stays stuck looking rich instead of becoming rich, why "just stop spending" is terrible advice, and how to actually build wealth without giving up the things you love.Because the goal was never to look rich. The goal is to become a woman who has options.Grab a notebook and some chai, and let's get into it. 🤍⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 — Why earning money didn't make me free01:53 — Path 1: Survival04:00 — Path 2: Status (where the middle class lives)07:48 — Path 3: Freedom10:45 — How to move from survival & status to the freedom path12:59 — Pay your future self first15:18 — What about desires?16:05 — What about family?17:11 — The real shift: ask a better question📌 WATCH NEXT12 Money Rules To Escape The Poor Indian Trap → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNxDV-rfRzc&t=28s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNxDV-rfRzc&t=28s]The ONLY 6 Ways To Get Rich As A Middle Class Indian → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvN9R8_DnT0&t=88s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvN9R8_DnT0&t=88s]********************✨Subscribe to the most positive newsletter on the internet: ⁠https://adete.substack.com/ [https://adete.substack.com/]
