In this episode I take you on a journey through the many evolutions of my personal finances so far, through the lens of the mindset shifts and identity upgrades I've undergone going from hot money mess to financially confident and building wealth.

I go through the changes I made as I:
Started fixing my finances once and for all
Began paying off debt
Finally paid off my debt
Learned to save
Invested small amounts
Invested bigger amounts
Went full time self employed
and bought a brand new car for the first time ever
