is set at and believe it or not it works the same way for your money every one of us has an internal Financial thermostat that regulates how much money we're able to manage let's say your financial thermostat is set at $3,000 a month when you earn less less than that you'll have Drive motivation and ambition to get that $3,000 a month eventually you'll reach it that's your financial thermostat kicking itself into gear to get that designated room temperature but this second part is even more crucial because this is what traps most people let's say you're

now earning $5,000 a month but your financial thermostat is still stuck at $3,000 a month what happens is you'll slowly regress in your life you'll slow down you won't pay attention to the little things in the same way you used to and it'll start to cost you that's the thermostat lowering the temperature in the room until it returns you back to that $3,000 a month in the words of Thanos balanced as all things should be and your financial thermostat is determined primarily by your upbringing by how much money you saw around you by how open

your environment made you to financial education by how well you understand how money works and how much of it has flown before you take a moment to think about your parents and how openly they talked about money was it taboo in your home to discuss money did they fight over it because of the lack of it well unconsciously your life and your environment made you comfortable with a specific amount of money and your financial thermostat is usually set right above that because that's what you consider safe this is why and we're sorry to break it

to you but this is why you're comfortable at your current level of income the reason you don't earn more is because this is what you've agreed internally is safe for you you might want and desire more money but that's not where your financial thermostat is set for someone whose thermostat is set at $3,000 a month the sheer idea of earning over 1 million a month is ludicrous they don't even believe it's possible for someone like them to set their own thermostat that high but there are people actually a lot of them for whom that's their

thermostats default setting a 2020 verified statistic from the IRS showed that in the United States of America there are over 23,000 households that earn in excess of $10 million a year and these numbers are over 4 to 5 years old pre-inflation that's ballpark $1 million a month for 23,000 households that is not a low number a person gets to these kind of numbers by setting their own internal thermostats high and keeping them there until reality catches up to the financial thermostat setting or to put it more plainly if your financial thermostat is set to $100,000

a month you'll behave like someone who earns $100,000 a month you'll think like someone who earns $100,000 a month and you'll make decisions as such then it's just a matter of time until your reality catches up to your actions the reality is most people want to earn more but behaving like someone who does doesn't come naturally to them and they don't know how to break that mold and even worse poor people keep themselves poor by trying to mimic the outcome of rich people instead of the input so how does one actually increase their financial thermostat
