SeedTime Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)
Have you ever noticed that no matter how much money you make, it never seems to be enough?
We're tackling the most stubborn financial habit we've ever encountered: discontentment. Even John Rockefeller, one of history's wealthiest individuals, famously said he needed "just a little bit more" when asked how much money was enough.
In this episode, we reveal:
Why having "just a little more" never satisfies (and what to do instead)
The shocking truth about how you're already richer than John Rockefeller in ways you've never considered
How Instagram and social media are secretly destroying your financial contentment
The counterintuitive "no muscle" technique that transforms your relationship with money
A practical framework for giving that's helped us stay grounded while working toward giving away $1 million
But here's what makes this episode different: Instead of just telling you to "be more grateful," we're sharing the exact systems we've used to break free from the endless cycle of wanting more – whether you make $30,000 or $3 million a year.
We also dive deep into practical strategies like:
Why deleting certain apps might be the key to financial peace
How to set up "contentment benchmarks" that actually work
The biblical wisdom behind avoiding both poverty and excess wealth
A simple gratitude practice that rewires your brain's relationship with money
Key Quote: "Whoever loves money never has enough, whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income." - Ecclesiastes 5:10
