1.04 Show Me The Money - The Surprising Secret to Building Wealth

We often think wealth is about earning more but the real magic happens when you keep more of what you earn. That’s where surplus cashflow comes in. It’s not flashy, but it’s one of the most powerful ways to build long-term financial security, and it’s completely within your control.  

In this episode of Her Money Matters, we break down why surplus cashflow is potentially the single biggest key to building wealth. You’ll learn:

• Why earning more doesn’t always mean getting ahead

• What surplus cashflow actually is (and why it’s not about restriction)

• How to spot the hidden leaks in your money habits

• And how a few simple tweaks can help you create the breathing space to save, invest, and plan for the future

We’ll also talk about how to reframe budgeting—so it feels less like punishment and more like empowerment.   💡 Need a tool to help you get started?
