Today, we’re talking about something deceptively simple — and yet it might be the most important mindset in all of personal finance:
👉 Focus on what you can control.
We live in a world where money feels unpredictable. The markets swing. Prices rise. Interest rates jump. Layoffs happen.

You just need to focus your energy where it actually makes a difference.
Today, I want to break that idea down — how it applies to your money, how it protects your peace, and why mastering it changes everything.
