163. How to Stop Saying 'I Can't Afford It' (And What to Say Instead)

"I can't afford it." If you catch yourself saying this phrase a lot, you're accidentally keeping yourself stuck in scarcity thinking. For years, I said this constantly while simultaneously putting things on credit cards anyway. The problem isn't your bank account - it's the language that makes you feel powerless. In this episode, I'm sharing what to say instead.

You'll learn:

• Why "I can't afford it" shuts down creative thinking and keeps you feeling like a victim
• The choice-based language I use with my kids instead (that actually teaches them about money)
• How to find an affordable version of almost anything you want
• The reseller market secret that makes expensive items accessible
• The one question that changes everything about how you approach money decisions
• Why getting clear on your WHY often reveals you don't actually want the thing
• How to reframe from limitation to empowerment in any money conversation

Stop letting this phrase make you feel powerless. You have more options than you think - it's time to start using language that reflects that truth.
