Just a Thought: I’m Tired of Broke A*s People – Outgrowing the Scarcity Mindset and Broke Energy

Introduction

I’ve reached a point in my spiritual development where no one can call me “broke”—and I will no longer refer to myself as such either. I can have $10 in my bank account—or even $2—and I know I’m still wealthy. I’ve learned that true abundance isn’t just about what’s in your bank account. It’s determined by your mindset, your self-concept, and your awareness of all the beauty, resources, and people that surround you.

Unfortunately, everyone won’t reach this level of awareness when you do. And it can become draining to interact with such people.

When Relationships No Longer Align

The hardest part about transitioning into an abundance mindset is that many of your relationships won’t come with you. Many of mine are now under review. And many won’t make the cut. This is because they aren’t prepared to make the shift out of scarcity as I am.

Many of them are still “broke” and “poor.” Not financially, but mentally. And if there’s anything I can no longer afford, it’s to be bankrupt of my evolved, abundant energy that I’ve worked hard to cultivate.

Here’s an example: I’ve been friends with someone since my freshman year of college in 2011. We’ve had money together, we’ve been “broke” together. We’ve been through many of the ups and downs that friendships go through. But I feel that the relationship is coming to a standstill because of our differences in how we view personal wealth and finances.

It can be hard to hold conversations that constantly circle back to lack. Statements like “Where does my money go?” or “I don’t know how I’m gonna pay for this or that” come up at least once in the conversation. And it’s draining. Spiritually, emotionally, and energetically. 

So now, I’m asking myself: do I cut this friendship off completely? I won’t pretend that decision is easy—but I know changes need to be made.

The REAL Struggle: Be Understanding or Make the Cut?

It’s hard deciding whether to maintain relationships but keep your distance, or to walk away completely. Not everyone reaches the finish line at the same time—but that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to wait for their arrival.

I’m not here to advise anyone to completely let someone go who isn’t causing you physical harm. But I am encouraging you to consider the mental, emotional, and spiritual costs of continuing to align with people still stuck in a scarcity mindset. Especially if you’ve been on a journey of spiritual evolution.
