De-programming bad financial mindsets

June 11, 2025

Football is big in my household and being from Nebraska, one of our football legends is Ndamukong Suh.  While he is best known for being a mean and nasty defensive lineman in college and the NFL, he’s actually a smart businessman off the field.  Recently, on X, he posted some bits of financial advice he has had to “unlearn” from his childhood.  I thought I would share a few with you as food for thought:

  • Myth:  Making more money will fix your problems.
    • Truth:  It just exposes them faster.
  • Myth:  Budgeting is for broke people.
    • Truth:  It’s how wealthy people can stay wealthy.
  • Myth:  Talking about money makes you sound greedy.
    • Truth:  Staying silent about money can keep you broke.
  • Myth:  Money changes people:
    • Truth:  It reveals who they already were.
