Skill Gap

The most dangerous money habit isn't spending — it's who you think you are. "I'm bad with money" becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You stop checking balances. You avoid budgets. You treat financial chaos as a personality trait instead of a skill gap.

Nobody is born financially literate. Warren Buffett wasn't born reading balance sheets — he learned. Shift from "I'm bad with money" to "I'm learning money." Identity change comes before behavior change, every single time.
