S2E26: Developing a Mindset of Scarcity at 18 Years Old Ft. Seth Wee from Sethisfy

Christopher Tan

“When I was much younger, we used to stay at a much bigger place. We had two cars and two maids, then subsequently, we just had one car, no more maid, downsized a little bit and went to rent instead.

In my younger childhood years, I didn’t really have to worry about money, but the change was quite apparent after that, and I began to feel like money is very hard to come by.”

In this episode, Seth, Youtube Finfluencer of Sethisfy, shares two major life events that happened when he turned 18 and how that shaped his money values for life.

Meanwhile, stay tune for the next episode where Chris discusses more about his latest article on The Business Times!
