You're Broke in Balenciaga: Let’s Talk About It (Flex Culture) | The 7th Cents Podcast

In this raw and revealing episode, Coach RL and Money Mike take the mask off Flex Culture — exposing how the pressure to look rich is keeping too many people broke. 💸

They dive into the psychological traps, childhood programming, and social pressures that push people to live beyond their means. From maxed-out credit cards to luxury lifestyles built on lies, this episode challenges listeners to ask: Is your flex worth your freedom?

This is more than just a financial conversation — it’s about mindset, self-esteem, and real freedom.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Flexing is often a cover-up for internal insecurity.

Lifestyle ≠ income — and that mismatch causes stress and debt.

Debt is a modern-day form of slavery.

Childhood influences shape how we spend as adults.

Instant gratification leads to long-term financial pain.

Self-worth should never be based on material status.

The path to freedom starts with self-awareness and financial literacy.

You don’t have to impress people who aren’t paying your bills.
