When it's time to make our dollars stretch, we become prudent spenders BUT we also get creative! We prioritize and come up with strategies to help save or make more money. However, once we get our heads above water, some of us get lax in our spending. We might even overspend what we have, putting us back into the situation we were in to begin with. A "lifestyle promotion" is what we sometimes give ourselves when our income increases. It is a consumer trait that we carry in the society we live in and it isn't anything to be ashamed of. It happens.Many people tell me that they are embarrassed to talk about their finances with me. The space I create is always safe and judgment free because no one is perfect. This shirt is about accepting your financial situation and doing whatever you can to reach YOUR personal financial goals. This is the type of work I do for free. Because I don't get paid for the education I give, this is my way of making sure bills get paid.If you like the idea of reclaiming the "broke lifestyle," please support by purchasing a shirt or mug, or by sharing if it's not in your budget.  Your support helps me focus more of my time and resources on helping others who really need my assistance.
