Underearning

Many individuals struggle with financial fears and undervalue their worth, leading to a phenomenon known as underearning. Barbara Stanny, a financial educator and career counselor, describes underearners as self-saboteurs who often work hard but live paycheck to paycheck and tolerate low pay. Underearning is a self-imposed condition that can be overcome. Stanny offers techniques and exercises to help individuals realize their earning potential and achieve financial independence. Her message emphasizes empowerment for those who chronically undervalue themselves, guiding them toward a richer, more fulfilling life.
