Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! In this episode, I’m getting real and a little bit blunt as we tackle a question I know many of us have asked ourselves: “Where the heck is all my money going?” Maybe you haven’t splurged on a yacht, but if you’ve ever wondered why your bank account doesn’t reflect the hard work you’re putting in, you’re in the right place.

I break down the 15 perfectly normal — but totally destructive — ways your wealth is secretly bleeding out. These sneaky money leaks come disguised as self-care, adulting, or the infamous “I deserve this” mentality. Over time, they rob us of our options, our freedom, and, most importantly, our financial future. I’ll walk you through each of these traps, share where I’ve personally tripped up, and give you practical solutions on how to plug those leaks so you can start building real wealth.

Think of this as your financial reality check — practical tips, a bit of tough love, and a whole lot of heart. It might sting a little, but sometimes, that’s exactly what we need to take back control and start winning with money.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why new cars on payment plans are a fast track to losing money
• The true cost of unused subscriptions
• Why most home fitness equipment ends up as an expensive laundry rack
• The psychological trap of buying things “because they’re on sale”
• The difference between spending and investing
• When DIY jobs backfire and why outsourcing sometimes saves you money
• The credit card points trap — when chasing points actually costs you more
