From Self-Worth to Net Worth: How to Break Free from Money Shame & Build Real Wealth
Loading player...
In this powerful Women’s Month episode of The Wealth Zen, hosts Sam & Charmaine tackle one of the biggest myths holding women (and everyone!) back: "My bank balance defines my value."
💡 Key Takeaways:
✔ "She counts coins like prayers… but her worth isn’t measured in rands." – Charmaine’s moving poem on reclaiming self-worth beyond finances.
✔ Why we equate net worth with self-worth (spoiler: social media & comparison are killing us).
✔ "Know your numbers!" – How understanding debt, savings & retirement plans empowers you (even if your net worth is negative).
✔ AI as a wealth tool: Sam reveals how ChatGPT helped him budget, track waste, and even plan for worst-case retirement scenarios.
✔ The magic of compound interest: How saving just R100/month for 20 years could grow to R54,000+.
🚀 Actionable Steps:
👉 Stop avoiding your numbers – Fear keeps you stuck. Knowledge sets you free.
👉 Use tech to your advantage (AI, apps, automated tools).
👉 Have "the talk" with partners/family about retirement, medical plans, and financial goals.
💬 Quote to Remember:
"You are not broken. You are becoming." – Charmaine
