She dives into why hitting your first $100K isn't just about budgeting harder or side hustling more. From the psychological barriers that keep high earners living paycheck to paycheck to the compound effect that kicks in once you hit that six-figure milestone, this episode tackles the uncomfortable truths about wealth building that no one talks about. Plus, Vivian is answering questions sent in by the besties to help them (and you!) reach this financial milestone.
