(💸33/40)The 50/50 Rule: How To Turn Every Raise Into Both Wealth and Impact Without Feeling the Pinch
Manage episode 450509321 series 2863136
The most dangerous financial trap isn't overspending. It's comfortable compromise.
After years of telling ourselves "I'll give more when I get my next raise," we discovered a profound truth: Without a system, good intentions evaporate into lifestyle inflation. But through this simple rule, we found a way to increase both our giving AND our financial freedom—without feeling the sacrifice.
In this episode, we share:
The "50-50 Rule" that transformed our approach to raises and windfalls
Why financial "peace" might actually be sabotaging your spiritual growth
The fascinating story of 3rd century Christians who fled to the woods when they got wealthy (and what it teaches us about modern abundance)
How we're implementing a radical month-long sabbatical for our entire team
This isn't just another money management strategy. It's a practical framework for breaking free from the gravitational pull of cultural norms around wealth—while still enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Whether you're living paycheck-to-paycheck or already practicing generosity, this simple rule could be the key to unlocking both greater impact and personal benefit.
