あらすじ・解説
Have you ever noticed that no matter how much money you make, it never seems to be enough?
We're tackling the most stubborn financial habit we've ever encountered: discontentment. Even John Rockefeller, one of history's wealthiest individuals, famously said he needed "just a little bit more" when asked how much money was enough.
In this episode, we reveal:
-
Why having "just a little more" never satisfies (and what to do instead)
-
The shocking truth about how you're already richer than John Rockefeller in ways you've never considered
-
How Instagram and social media are secretly destroying your financial contentment
-
The counterintuitive "no muscle" technique that transforms your relationship with money
-
A practical framework for giving that's helped us stay grounded while working toward giving away $1 million
But here's what makes this episode different: Instead of just telling you to "be more grateful," we're sharing the exact systems we've used to break free from the endless cycle of wanting more – whether you make $30,000 or $3 million a year.
We also dive deep into practical strategies like:
-
Why deleting certain apps might be the key to financial peace
-
How to set up "contentment benchmarks" that actually work
-
The biblical wisdom behind avoiding both poverty and excess wealth
-
A simple gratitude practice that rewires your brain's relationship with money
