About this episode

Did anyone ever teach you about money when you were younger?

What’s one money mistake you made in your 20s?

Today, Jay shares the financial lessons he wishes he knew in his twenties. Insights that don’t just change how you handle money, but how you understand it. Jay reveals that most people aren’t actually bad with money, they were simply never taught how to build a healthy, secure relationship with it.

Jay explains how these dynamics affect our financial habits, emphasizing that real financial security begins with mindset and choices, not income. From challenging inherited money beliefs to addressing debt with clarity rather than fear, this episode offers a roadmap to move from financial stress to financial stability.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Shift from Avoiding Money to Owning It

How to Build a Secure Relationship with Money

How to Invest in Knowledge Before Assets

How to Break Free from Financial Programming

How to Simplify Your Finances When Overwhelmed

Wealth isn’t about looking rich, it’s about living with intention, respecting yourself, and aligning your money with purpose.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
