Today we’re talking about one of my favorite truths in personal finance:
👉 Making money is only half the game. The other half is learning how to hold onto it.
It sounds simple, right? But it’s one of the biggest financial blind spots I see.
Some people make incredible incomes but are constantly stressed about money.
Others earn modest paychecks but somehow build quiet, lasting wealth.
The difference isn’t luck—it’s balance.
It’s how well you play both sides of the money game: offense and defense.
So, let’s unpack the psychology, the habits, and the mindset shifts behind making money vs. holding onto money.
