Nothing Makes You Feel More Powerless Than Saying ‘No’ to Your Own Dreams - Because of Your Finances
Let’s be real for a second…
There’s broke.
Then there’s “I had to kill my own dream” broke.
You know what I’m talking about.
❌ That course you didn’t sign up for because you couldn’t justify the $79.
❌ That trip you said “next year” to—five years ago.
❌ That business idea you buried under a pile of bills because it felt selfish to even want something more.
That’s not just financial strain.
That’s spiritual suffocation.
You think:
“It’s not the right time.”
“Maybe when things settle down.”
“I’ll do it after I get through this next thing.”
But you never get through it, do you?
Because the next thing keeps coming.
And before you know it, life has passed while you were waiting for a clearance sale on your own future.
You ever look at something and whisper to yourself:
“I was supposed to be more than this.”
It’s brutal.
And nobody talks about it.
We celebrate survival.
We give out awards for “hustling through it.”
But inside, there’s this ache…
A dream that’s still alive—barely.
Starving. Waiting for a scrap of time, money, or energy.
And we keep feeding it excuses instead.
You wanna know what it feels like to finally have a little momentum?
To buy that course.
To book that weekend trip.
To fix your damn teeth or upgrade your laptop or register the business name?
It feels like oxygen.
Like you finally get to breathe again.
That’s not selfish.
That’s what it’s supposed to feel like when you’re not drowning.
But here’s the thing:
You can’t “dream” your way to that place.
You can’t manifest it with good vibes.
You need money.
Not millions.
Not trust fund wealth.
Just enough extra every month to start saying:
“Yes” to your future
“Yes” to growth
“Yes” to your own damn needs
I built SavingSucks because I was living in that powerlessness.
There were so many things I knew I was meant to do…
But all of them died quietly every time I checked my bank account.
Want to know what woke me up?
It wasn’t a motivational speech.
It was watching other people—less talented, less creative, less driven—win.
Why?
Because they learned how to pull just enough money from online work to gain some damn traction.
It started small:
$40 from a one-off task
$85 from a freelance gig
$110 from an affiliate link
And suddenly, I had the margin to stop saying “no” to my dreams.
That margin?
It turns into momentum.
And momentum turns into a new life.
You don’t need another budgeting template.
You don’t need to start a blog or dance on TikTok or pray to the algorithm gods.
You need a few simple ways to earn online. Quietly. Repeatedly. Without begging anyone for permission.
That’s what I send through my email list.
It’s free. It’s blunt. And it’s built for people just like you.
