Every dollar you earn has an expiration date.

You get paid… and it goes somewhere.

Rent.
Car payment.
Insurance.
Gas.
Groceries.
Utilities.
The daily coffee.
Dinner out.
Random Target run.
New clothes because you “needed” something.

None of this is wrong. It’s life.

But here’s the part no one talks about:

All your money goes to zero eventually.

The real question isn’t if it disappears.
The question is what it leaves behind.

Rent leaves you with nothing.
Coffee leaves you with nothing.
Impulse purchases leave you with nothing.

But ownership? That leaves you with something.

What if instead of asking, “Can I afford to buy?”
You asked, “Where is my money going anyway?”
