money is freeing me from the desperation mindset i was in starting to be more confident & secure in the things i like & dislike feeling more ok with missing out on “opportunities” & “connections” phasing flimsy/unreliable ppl out of my life being more honest & vocal etc

getting out of desperation mode is such an opportunity to break free from scarcity mindset, have felt it myself recently too although it’s a shame that our capitalist society is built this way - by design - to keep people in desperation mode

Recently realized how people from higher social classes take more risks because they have a safety net if things go south. It's wild to think about how this safety net boosts your success rate when taking chances. It's really not about the money but the mentality of just trying and not giving a fuck if you fail.

it’s a great point. although that last part is crucial. It actually IS about the money bc if you have a mentality of trying and not giving a fuck if you fail, AND you fail - you’re kinda screwed. Whereas the wealthy can experiment, tinker, fail, and still be in a good position. The safety net changes everything

I say this as someone doesn’t have a safety net but has often jumped headfirst into something (eg quitting my job and becoming a full time creator / speaker). I was close to failure many times but always *just* scraped through. It was incredibly stressful though, and would have been a lot less so w a safety net

Yeah definitely, agreed. Maybe it is a cultural thing but in Europe and more specifically in Spain (probably because of it's catholic + family centric rooting) if you don't have the money you just don't even try. So that is kind off why I sense that safety net when seeing people do stuff.
