Most people don’t stay broke because they earn too little.
They stay broke because of small financial habits that quietly drain their money over time.
In this episode, Adam Lang and Ben Adams break down 10 common behaviors that keep people financially stuck — even when they have a good income.
From constant tech upgrades and food delivery spending to credit card interest, subscriptions, and brand new cars, these habits seem small individually… but compound massively over time.
Because wealth usually isn’t destroyed by one big mistake.
It’s drained by small, repeated decisions.
If you want more financial progress in 2026, this episode will help you spot the leaks.
