The Psychology of Money Chapter 14 | You’ll Change

Who you are today isn’t who you’ll always be and that’s a good thing.

This chapter reminded me how important it is to leave room for change. Over time, our values, desires, and even our definition of freedom evolve. The things that once felt like the ultimate dream eventually become just the foundation for something greater.

I think about how, years ago, I used to say “$10,000 a month” was the big goal. That number used to represent everything to me — security, freedom, validation. And while it’s still part of my vision, it’s no longer the dream. It’s the base. Because I’ve changed. My goals have matured, my perspective has deepened, and my understanding of what true wealth means has shifted.

Even with this Money Mastermind, we’re literally in the middle of change right now. We’ve evolved from weekly live calls to a blog-style format, and it feels right. We’ve grown, our schedules have shifted, and our flow needed to adapt and that’s exactly what this chapter is about.

What I love about this message is that it gives permission to start over. To not hold on too tightly to what once worked. To be okay with letting go of what no longer fits, even if you’ve poured a lot of time, energy, and effort into it. Because staying aligned matters more than staying consistent with something that no longer feels right.

This chapter felt like a reminder that change isn’t failure; it’s evolution. And that’s exactly how we create freedom; by allowing our path to expand with us.
