How much more money would you need to earn to stop worrying about money? Is it £10,000 more, £20,000, £50,000? I've worked with many clients earning six figures, people who have millions in their bank account, who lie awake at night with the same money anxiety. The myth that more money will solve all of your money problems may be the myth that's keeping you broke - not because you're not earning enough, but because you're chasing a target that never stops moving.
Let me tell you about when I finally earned "enough" - I'd spent years convinced that the next pay rise would create certainty and financial stability. When I hit that number at 32, here's what happened: absolutely nothing. The financial anxiety was still there, the hypervigilance around checking my bank balance was still there, and that's when I realised it wasn't an income problem - I had a safety problem.
Today, I'm breaking down why this myth is so destructive, how lifestyle creep and attachment patterns scale with your income, and the four practical steps to build genuine safety with money at any income level, because true wealth isn't about your bank balance - it's about healing your relationship with yourself.
