Ep 50 | The Financial Dysmorphia No One Talks About

This episode dives into a self-sabbotaging psychology and uncovers why people making $150K… $300K… even $900K still feel broke, stressed, and behind.

Priya shares two real stories of six-figure earners stuck in the same self-defeating loop for totally different reasons, and breaks down the emotional patterns that keep HENRYs [High Earners, Not Rich Yet] in survival mode no matter how much they make. If you’ve ever said “I should be further along by now,” this one’s for you.

Takeaways:

• Why your income level stops mattering once your habits and psychology take over.
• The sneaky loop nearly all six-figure earners fall into and how it quietly destroys long-term wealth.
• How one entrepreneur earned $1.4M and still ended up with credit card debt and no savings (and why it’s more common than you think).
• Why windfalls make smart people act irrationally (yes, even you).
• The real reason two people can spend 10–20 years together and still make zero financial progress.
