Ep. 492: Broke or Just Mismanaged?
Thu Feb 05 2026
If your salary doubled tomorrow… would your savings grow or would your expenses grow too?
Many people think earning more automatically means saving more. In reality, higher income often leads to higher spending. In this episode of Chink Positive, Chinkee Tan explains why most money struggles aren’t an income problem but a spending and awareness problem.
Through real coaching stories and simple examples, Chinkee shows how money quietly leaks through food, impulse buys, and lifestyle upgrades until you’re left asking, “Where did my money go?” The answer isn’t a new job or a bigger salary, but clearer awareness of where your money goes.
This episode challenges you to track your expenses, spend intentionally (not emotionally), and build habits that lead to control, savings, and peace of mind.
You’re not broke. You’re becoming aware, and awareness is power.
