Save your seat inside Business Bootcamp! Your COMPLETE roadmap to go from idea to income: ⁠herfirst100k.com/business-bootcamp I asked our audience one simple question: How much money would you need to feel rich? What I didn’t expect was a tidal wave of answers that weren’t just about income—they were about identity, survival, trauma, and the deep psychology of money. In this episode, I’m digging into the thousands of responses we received—from those saying $70K makes them feel secure, to others needing $750K+ just to feel safe in their high-cost-of-living cities. But beneath those numbers lies something even more fascinating: how we define wealth, comfort, and enoughness, especially as women navigating a world that tells us we should be grateful for scraps.This episode isn’t about hitting a random salary milestone—it’s about unraveling the emotional and psychological layers behind why we want more money and what it represents. From societal expectations to location-based cost pressures, from generational trauma to shifting lifestyle goals, I break down what your “rich number” might actually say about you—and challenge you to claim even more. Because financial safety isn’t simply a number. Read transcripts, learn more about our guests and sponsors, and get more resources at https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/how-much-money-do-i-need/Looking for accountability, live coaching, and deeper financial education?
