Journaling, reading, doing my yoga stretches. Also, focusing on the little things help a lot. For example, this year I've taken more time to enjoy the beautiful autumn. The leaves, nature walks. Always makes me feel so much better and more grounded l🍁🙏🏻
I practice writing out 5 things I’m thankful for this particular day. With COVID taking away so many lives around I came to realize that life is too short. Every moment has to be enjoyed. I have goals that I move towards, but this day has to be the most happy day, just because it’s part of my journey. The practice mentioned earlier helped me pause and see many awesome people and beautiful things around me. I’m actually a really happy person and really know how to enjoy little everyday life moments!:)
Being poor for most of my life, especially during childhood, I can honestly tell you that having enough money that you don’t need to stress out to pay the electricity bill or buy food is absolutely the difference between sadness and happiness.
i think you're saying this because you're sorry for yourself- victim mentality. believe me, you have a wrong perception. I've been there, done that. please, if you want to change your life do something you love, what's your passion and give it to people. it'll change everything. blessings to you🙌🏻💝
About secret 1#: I guess money doesn't equal happiness, but it makes "shortcuts", helps solving problems easier and is a main tool to achieve goals. Some examples like private healthcare, more transportation options, being able to get better education on variety of subjects, being able to invest more in hobbies, worrying less about retierment time, being able to pay for external work such as a weekly house cleaner so you can have extra time for yourself... I mean, in my country at least there are professions that you can't actually work at them and thrive without enough financial support from others or yourself such as arts, some healthcare professions(!) or most of sports. So money is not a direct happiness provider, but when you don't have enough you have much more things that would make you more anxious or regretfull.
I understand what you say, but these are problems that money can solve, it can't solve everything tho. Having money is much better than not having it, but some people are just so rotten inside that no matter how much money they have they will always feel like they don't have enough to be happy. That's how I see, money is a problem solver, not happiness itself.
Also money gives you chance to help others, relatives, and be happy out of making others happy. IMO if you do not know how to be happy, money do not really play role how you feel.
I remember seeing Jim Carrey say “Everybody should get rich and famous so they can see that it's not the answer.” It stuck with me. So important to work on getting to know yourself. I'm sure we've all experienced that moment where we think once I get X y z I'm going to feel happy and fulfilled. However, very often that's not the case.
@@duedate2811 very true.. But I also think that once you reach a certain level of wealth, it doesn't add to your level of happiness. And as the time goes by you very soon realise that the most valuable things in life can't be bought. Trust, true love, care, honesty, ability to notice the little things in life 💕
I've experienced this in my work. I've worked for some of the wealthiest people in the world for over 25 years and honestly I've seen so much misery, trauma, boredom, abuse and addiction. Everyone thinks they would be diferent if they had money but the truth it, you just need enough and you need to be able to know when enough really is enough. Gratitude and a passion for something that is meaningful or a hobby that isn't shopping is what makes people happy. And enough money to care for our health and some spare time to pursue our interests. 'I have enough' is something I've learnt to focus on.
Anna, I partnered up with a so-called wealthy man for ten years; he was a user. I let him use my knowledge experience and worked five years side by side in the hospitality business; he promised after five years, we would split the profits. He kept ignoring my request to get that in a written contract. I had all the red flags staring me in the face, which I ignored. There's more to my story; I won't go into now. But ladies, please don't go into business with anyone without a written contract. At first, I felt ashamed, but I'm a firm believer what goes around comes around. Thank you for your honesty, Anna. A woman like yourself is scarce. 💞
In Brazil we have a saying: “money doesn’t buy happiness but allows you to be sad in Paris”. Just something I always thought it was funny, but you are right: that is nothing without health and love.
I used to work for a cleaning company and the biggest thing I noticed was when I dealt with someone wealthy they never tipped, when I dealt with someone lower income they never tipped and when I dealt with someone mid range they almost always tipped especially if they worked at a job that receives tips as well!
You don't have to be a millionaire, but having a small nest egg and being able to see something you like, a coat, a small trip away etc and think, 'I can afford to buy that' goes a long way when I think back to the days where we could not even use too much milk as we could not afford to buy any the next day. Security for me is more important than being rich.
Money does not guarantee health and love, but being poor or average is an even bigger obstacle to those things. In the USA, proper health maintenance is unaffordable to most- you have to be at least upper middle class to have everything you need for optimal health (regular doctor appointments, therapy, gym memberships, nutritious fresh food, the time and space to de-stress). Same thing with love- couples experiencing financial stress are far more likely to divorce. Families without financial means have to work long shifts away from their kids and never see friends. Money doesn’t guarantee those things but it does increase your chances of having them by a lot
Financial stress does not always mean there isn't enough income. If one partner has a gambling problem and hogs all the resources that can cause a lot of financial stress. If one partner earns enough or both partners earn enough but one person is taking all financial decisions and not including the other partner in financial decisions even that causes a lot of financial stress. Many women are expected to unconditionally surrender their income to their husband and treated as work mules.
Not a true statement. I am far from being upper class, I’m considered low middle class, and I have great health insurance, access to therapy through my job, and good food and gym membership. And I’m not alone. In the grand scheme of things, less than 50 million people in this country don’t have access to insurance, and while that’s one too many, it’s not even 1/3 of the US population. To say that you have to be upper class to have those things is just simply not true. It’s only true for a small percentage of people in a country that has about 330,000,000 people. It’s about 15% of the general population, and again, it shouldn’t be that way in the first place for anyone, but stats tell a different story.
So true for so many....like selling their soul to the devil, a Faustian bargain. Anyone can make a mistake and choose unwisely, but what keeps them there is the money esp if they signed a prenup...Sybil Francis PhD clinical psychologist
Socioeconomic background does not matter when it comes to character. There are unsavory, selfish, narcissistic, abusive, etc. people across each and every spectrum of existence. The key is achieving independence, discernment and taking your time.
I love how balanced you are in this video! Affluent or not it's all about surrounding yourself with quality people who help you be the best version of yourself! Spirituality is such a key component to feeling peace too!
I really like how you talk about "difficult topics" in a very diplomatic and lady like way. you should do a video about this too! it's so rare these days and I really enjoy listening to your opinions and advice. Thank you for your content, showing us how we could elevate ourselves. I think you have a good type of humor too.
My dad told me ones you don’t need to be rich to have class always treat every person around you with kindness and respect we are not worth less or more than any human being god made us all equal :)
Respecting others is good and we are equal in accord to law..other than than we all are in our own..so make sure you develop some appreciation for money since is the fuel to survival..and it makes a difference to have options and choices in our lives...it does it even for people who have no class or intelligence.
I'm agree..I know some rich people from my family who don't have manners and they are arrogant just because they have more money and cars then others. Money are coming and going, but their bad mannered character remain.
I love Marie Kondo~ her book and the Japanese way of buying less is something that really resonated with me :) I don’t want to be rich if it means I only buy things I don’t appreciate. The dopamine always wears off, but I find myself still admiring and loving things I have that I really put thought into and I’m grateful for in my life. I think Anna also thinks this way, which is a big reason I watch her :) After watching this video it’s absolutely confirmed it.
As a daughter of a Narcissist, I can tell yo this: socipaths and narcissist gravitate towards this circles, so there is a lot of trauma and pain amongst them.
I agree with you Ana! I only have high quality people in my life now. They all might not be wealthy, however, they are super supportive of me doing things in my life that make me happy, help me level up and become a better version of myself and they never make me feel bad for doing it either. Thats what I look for in a husband, high quality mindset who lives in his beautiful madculine purpose 🥰 Thank you for this video! X
My guy learned something from his wealthy Godmother back in the day that he taught to me. "It's not what you make, it's what your bills are." Buy quality and live below your means. Minimize your debts as much as possible. (That last part was mine.) 😁
It's amazing how I've witnessed your own personal growth in this channel. It's great to see you talking about these topics because ultimately the goal for anybody looking for affluence is to get happiness and stability.
That is exactly right ,if you don’t have your health you don’t have anything. I just had my 5 th spine surgery so I know that all I want is a pain free day ! Money helps to help you have comfort and it is really nice not have to worry about bills , but I am always recovering from pain.
This is so true. Due to the environment I lived in, I ended up going out with men (boys lol) who were way wealthier than myself. It caused a lot of discomfort on both sides, and once it was even the reason we broke up. My current partner apparently noticed my dislike for wealth (beyond my own) and pretended to be from a modest family. It was only once we had been together for many months that I slowly started to find inconsistencies and he admitted it. Safe to say, it really isn't the wealth (or lack thereof!) but about a person who is willing understand me and do sth like this for me.
The number one most valuable thing we have as humans is our ability to have a relationship with God. You are right though, health and love is so vital. I have been poor and affluent and all in-between, love, attention and health have made the seasons ☀️ or 🌧
Believing in God makes all the difference. When you have no money.. Believing in God helps because we know he will take care of us.. We just have to do our best. Having all the money in the world and not believing in God must be so scary. When someone has money and can get everything but still feels this emptiness.. It's even scarier with money than without.. Because ppl who have no money can always hope.. "if I had money I could..xy and be happy".. People with money csn do so many things and know.. That's not enough
Thank you Anna for revealing the other side of the coin. My biggest take from this is to Stay true to thyself and be responsible for your own happiness.
I don't have a boyfriend, and I am not looking for one. But having elegance, grace and wisdom is my new goal. Not because I want to attract a man, but to be a better me.
Perhaps it's easy to equate money with happiness, because money worries creates anxiety and unhappiness. Money security lessens the anxiety and unhappiness, but on its own Doesn't Create Happiness. Minimal anxiety and worry, and nurturing your soul is what creates happiness.
Health is the most important of course and the last point is absolutely true! I also had to found out that when having not much to spend on, things become way more value because they are no certainty.
Always great content, especially in touching on the part about wealth being essentially meaningless if one is mentally or spiritually unbalanced. The difference is that the wealthy person likely has the time and resources to seek help in whichever way they choose (therapy, rehab, retreats, etc.) while someone without means or a support system typically has to fend for themselves.
Thank you for this video Anna. I am a mental health therapist and work with people from all walks of life. I couldn't agree more, that spiritual connection, staying in the present moment, and doing what you can with what you have (I would also argue gratitude can be quite helpful), is the way to find that inner peace and happiness. Money can help people acquire resources but without these insights of what's actually important in life, many people find themselves lost and searching for other things to fill that void. Really important video!
I have been watching and observing your videos a lot, but I must say honestly..I see your videos this year filled with beautiful wisdom! A true elegance lady, the higher the class is, the more wisdom they have!. You inspire me a lot big sis 👍 One more thing to add, love does not always come from external factors. We will stop chasing external love when we love ourselves. 👍
I think this episode is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT messages you have ever imparted on your audience. It made me like and respect your channel even more! You shared WISDOM dear. ❤️
It’s true that many rich men have serious faults. However, women who are attracted to these types of men, may lack an awareness of the vulnerabilities that caused them to overlook these faults. ☕️
Right? I think her hair color is a cooler blonde color! I definitely listened to and loved the honest information in this video but definitely noticed her hair too
This video is spot on. You touched on so many key topics. We cannot find love and balance in others without first finding love, joy, and balance within ourselves.
I choose my friends and close ones based on their core values which lets me know how long a relationship will last with them. But first, you’ve to know your own values.
Work hard (studying/working) and build yourself a good job/business and you would get security and peace of mind, but always remember to enjoy your hard work in the best way.
I think having money, good health makes you happy. You don't have to have billions but having 1 million and live on the interests does help to be happy. Coz you can afford to travel and enjoy life.
I agree wth you Anna; I feel that one does not live with the money, one lives with the man and it's important to have the same hobbies and politics and so forth. Also, no abusive guy is worth any amount of money and, yes, some rich men are simply crooks!
Anna, your messages are well received this morning. Thank you! Balance of mental status is a must for ourselves and our partner's, in all realms and areas of our life. Additionally, your look today is very fresh, healthy, and as inspiring as your message.
Thanks you for this video. I used to chase material things but then I became a born again Christian. I still enjoy my luxury moments but appreciate simple things at the same time.
The first thing mentioned is the most important, from my own experience I can tell you how empty I feel right now that I have many of the things that in the past I just could dream to have. I'm trying with therapy and is starting to help. Money can't buy you the love of other people, and most importantly, it can't buy you self love, respect and self steem. You most cultivate those things in your life since the very beginning so you can enjoy the future abundance coming, otherwise is just empty...
Best wishes to you! I remember the thrill I got walking through the grocery store and knowing I could buy whatever I wanted at the grocery store :). After a while you just quit wanting to buy things.
Health is very important, but I love what you said about the importance of being fully present and mindset. Spirituality is so important for me and keeps me grounded. Love these! Thanks 💗
About 23 years ago, I went to this seminar where a very wealthy man was speaking. He was describing that one day he was looking at his marble floors and marble walls of his mansion and he was feeling so empty and lost, he had it all, multiple cars, a wife, children, everything that money could buy but he couldn't be more empty and lost. This is why we must cultivate our mind and heart first ladies and be fulfilled within ourselves, because when we do this, we'll attract a man who has done the same.
I remember being obsessed with becoming rich. I knew a rich girl and getting to know her I would say hmm rich people aren't necessarily nice people. They are quite snobbish and really regard good looks and money as being very important in their circle :) she wanted to marry a rich man and ended up with a guy who wasn't rich. But good for her -love is more important and money can come along later x
@@cheery-hex No, but I know they're not very nice people. I used to work in a building full of entrepreneurs (it was start up companies and some of the men/ladies had good money) and they regard good looks and youth as important (I was in early 20s) and I know they werent nice people deep down. I would prefer to be poor and humble and a good person than being super rich. Try it yourself go to designer shops mix with them and you will find theyre not nice.
Wealth comes with nightmarish responsibility. Your time will never be your own, neither will your home... your houses. Shopping and self maintenance will become boring chores. With wealth comes the loss of carefree days that used to nourish your spirit...And constant daydreams of escaping the rat race.. and laying in the grass in 2nd hand clothes, eating a take out burger and joining a drum circle
I came across Bey’s channel by chance. I find her to be absolutely lovely and right on point always. I also appreciate that she’s honest about having gone for some cosmetic work herself and having learned her beautiful manners later in life. Refreshing.
In my opinion, Treating like a queen 👸🏻 only happens in dating phase of life. Love bombing. After that, the man changes into a narcissist. So I feel, best to rely on ourselves. Never leave your job ( which gives you your ‘own ‘ money ) irrespective of how wealthy your partner/ husband is. This way, incase you want to leave then you are not penniless and you are not living with a jerk only because you can’t afford anywhere else to go! Also have a life of your own- socialise with like minded friends/ talk to people/ keep busy with a project of your own. Never let your life revolve around the man. This will keep your core value of happiness in your own control and nobody else will ever have power over you or can manipulate you in anyway.
If you're not wealthy doesn't mean you have love, either. I've been on both ends of the wealth spectrum, and rich is better; generally, the richer you are, the healthier you are.
I believe money is not the end goal but definitely an upgrade from a place of poverty. I've also learned from some rich people, that if you spend too much time investing in material wealth, you could feel trapped with those things. So imo, don't think wealth is the biggest thing you can achieve. It's just a tool only to be used to improve psychological and physical health
A man I dated who is wealthy admitted to being a psycho, etc etc and told about several disturbing things he has done for “jobs”. He also used his money to manipulate others into believing he is kind and confident, yet he is wildly insecure and scary dangerous.
I agree with everything you say Anna. I have so many clothes and purses that I felt “isnt stylish” anymore. I had big busts my entire teenage and adult years that I had to get surgery to make them smaller. I treated myself to new shoes, lingerie and dresses but I decided to make the best out of my old clothes and enjoy them because I can fit in them. It brought me happiness ❤
I absolutely agree with your points! Having met different types of men with money, I can attest that there are scumbags, criminals and down right scheme making, weasels out there that we need to be extremely vigilant to stay away from. If caught in their world, it could just create a world of undeserved misery and stress for us. I also agree that there are nice, balanced ones who are generous and will care for you like the queen you are :)
Money certainly doesn’t buy happiness but without it life is bladdy miserable!!!!! A little money helps to lighten the load. Agreed, health and love first but just a comfortable amount of money helps put a smile on everyone’s face.
Anna I can honestly say you saved lives with this one, and it is not the first time either.... the BAD APPLES...... GOLDEN CAGES.... BAD CHARACTER TRAITS..... CRIMINAL AFFLUENT MEN..... More absolutely sterling content for those who want to pay attention to their lives long term and short term.
Great video, Anna! A little closer to our hearts! I love your teachings from the other videos and learned a lot from them, but this one hit differently. Thank you! Hope to see more like this video in the future! Wish you all the best! Sabina
I think love comes before health. I know so many people with impaired or sick loved ones who yet appreciate every second with each other. Being unhealthy is not an obstacle to love. On my wedding day, my husband and I promised to love each other through health and sickness - and I truly believe that through love, we can handle all these challenges. Even if one of us - or one of our children - gets sick, we'll have each other and all the effort that comes with it will be worth it. We can't promise each other to stay healthy and independent until the end of our lives, but we can promise to commit to each other in acts of self-giving love. I think, this is the greatest gift.
I'm so thankful for your videos, Anna! I always listen to them on Sunday while cooking and I usually don't have time to skip through ads, so I just let them run. But I always feel like it's a small contribution to your work for us ❤️
You are SO right, Miss Anna! I was with a narcissistic man who was going to inherit money. I actually didn't believe that he would but I did love him. Whew! God saved me from a lifetime of abuse because he eventually married another woman who happened to be a gold digger. She only saw money in her future but never spent any time with him and didn't know that he also is an alcoholic.So, all of this to say that you must be aware, patient and not swoon over a man just because he has or may get a lot of money. Thank you for your wonderful counsel, Miss Anna.
So true anna about #4. Not all wealthy are having the time of their loves during expensive vacations. Most of them family members fight a lot during vacations which others think of as ideal but actually not.
This was an excellent video, Anna. Wisdom that’s much needed in the level up/femininity/hypergamous community. Very insightful and this gives a reality check!!!
What a truly amazing video. This applies to every level of life. There are unfortunately too many people with no regard for anyone but themselves and their goals. 💗
Oh Anna, thank you for this… my sister called my attention to this video and it is very educative and eye opening, one must borrow a leaf from the realness of the message! Blessings…
My son has entered a private school this year and all kids get along well. However you can see the parents have there own little groups. And as you say the IT crowd isn't the group to be with. They chase, side eye, don't say Hi, ... I don't push anything. I prefer for it to grow organically. Si I took a friend to the social club and little did I know she knew one of those moms 😂 and a connection started 😜 So great for info and tips Anna, def taking notes 👏🏽🌹
my uncle used to be an IT in a global company but he didnt enjoy anyhing about of the hlife. he had to overcome hardships during his childhood for that he grown with a scarcity mindset .that s right when you said that rich people have inner issues too but they are not about money.
This is true about lavish vacations. I stayed at a Hilton in Bora Bora, Tahiti in an overwater bungalow for 1k a night. Paradise, right? Wrong. The ocean hits the pilings beneath the bungalow, I thought there was constructed going on. The bungalow would shake. Also, there were U.S. citizens and Asians there, who were not happy. They were complaining about bugs. I left and stayed at a place in Bora Bora for $100 a night on the ocean. I swam every day to the restaurant Bora Bora Club. I met natives and French people. I had a great, FANTASTIC time. I felt like I was really having a relaxing adventure, as opposed to vacationing with rich, unhappy people I can meet easily in the U.S.A.

Hi 👋 Bohemia, can I please ask you a question?
@@ericksonwall7369 Hi, may I ask you and Charlie Wayne a question?
"Money unlocks characters jailed by poverty", literally just read this on another comment section and I thought is was very apt 👌.
@@Sexxxyism Yes what is your question?
About secret 1#: I guess money doesn't equal happiness, but it makes "shortcuts", helps solving problems easier and is a main tool to achieve goals. Some examples like private healthcare, more transportation options, being able to get better education on variety of subjects, being able to invest more in hobbies, worrying less about retierment time, being able to pay for external work such as a weekly house cleaner so you can have extra time for yourself...

So money is not a direct happiness provider, but when you don't have enough you have much more things that would make you more anxious or regretfull.
i can pay for therapy to be happy 😭😭
Plus you can travel! I think the very best education for anyone is to be able to travel to different countries!
@@jlina exactly that too. and through learning new things can sometimes bring you to happiness.

"Health is wealth".
Also agree with all the points. Thank you ❤️
Money does not guarantee health and love, but being poor or average is an even bigger obstacle to those things. In the USA, proper health maintenance is unaffordable to most- you have to be at least upper middle class to have everything you need for optimal health (regular doctor appointments, therapy, gym memberships, nutritious fresh food, the time and space to de-stress). Same thing with love- couples experiencing financial stress are far more likely to divorce. Families without financial means have to work long shifts away from their kids and never see friends. Money doesn’t guarantee those things but it does increase your chances of having them by a lot
"Lack of money is the root of all evil"!!
This is what "affluent" people can never understand..
Financial stress does not always mean there isn't enough income. If one partner has a gambling problem and hogs all the resources that can cause a lot of financial stress. If one partner earns enough or both partners earn enough but one person is taking all financial decisions and not including the other partner in financial decisions even that causes a lot of financial stress. Many women are expected to unconditionally surrender their income to their husband and treated as work mules.
Not a true statement. I am far from being upper class, I’m considered low middle class, and I have great health insurance, access to therapy through my job, and good food and gym membership. And I’m not alone. In the grand scheme of things, less than 50 million people in this country don’t have access to insurance, and while that’s one too many, it’s not even 1/3 of the US population. To say that you have to be upper class to have those things is just simply not true. It’s only true for a small percentage of people in a country that has about 330,000,000 people. It’s about 15% of the general population, and again, it shouldn’t be that way in the first place for anyone, but stats tell a different story.
@@BacchizAdventures very true! Income and affluence are not the same thing. Ability to manage your money is critical
I had a mentor who said ,"if you marry for only money that you will end up earning every penny of that money."
So true for so many....like selling their soul to the devil, a Faustian bargain. Anyone can make a mistake and choose unwisely, but what keeps them there is the money esp if they signed a prenup...Sybil Francis PhD clinical psychologist
Plenty of people are unhappily married with little money; the divorce rate is 50%.
Socioeconomic background does not matter when it comes to character. There are unsavory, selfish, narcissistic, abusive, etc. people across each and every spectrum of existence. The key is achieving independence, discernment and taking your time.
I love how balanced you are in this video! Affluent or not it's all about surrounding yourself with quality people who help you be the best version of yourself! Spirituality is such a key component to feeling peace too!
I really like how you talk about "difficult topics" in a very diplomatic and lady like way. you should do a video about this too! it's so rare these days and I really enjoy listening to your opinions and advice. Thank you for your content, showing us how we could elevate ourselves. I think you have a good type of humor too.
My dad told me ones you don’t need to be rich to have class always treat every person around you with kindness and respect we are not worth less or more than any human being god made us all equal :)
Hi 👋 Sandra, can I please ask you a question?
Respecting others is good and we are equal in accord to law..other than than we all are in our own..so make sure you develop some appreciation for money since is the fuel to survival..and it makes a difference to have options and choices in our lives...it does it even for people who have no class or intelligence.
I'm agree..I know some rich people from my family who don't have manners and they are arrogant just because they have more money and cars then others. Money are coming and going, but their bad mannered character remain.
I love Marie Kondo~ her book and the Japanese way of buying less is something that really resonated with me :) I don’t want to be rich if it means I only buy things I don’t appreciate. The dopamine always wears off, but I find myself still admiring and loving things I have that I really put thought into and I’m grateful for in my life. I think Anna also thinks this way, which is a big reason I watch her :) After watching this video it’s absolutely confirmed it.
Less is more ✨
As a daughter of a Narcissist, I can tell yo this: socipaths and narcissist gravitate towards this circles, so there is a lot of trauma and pain amongst them.
I agree with you Ana! I only have high quality people in my life now. They all might not be wealthy, however, they are super supportive of me doing things in my life that make me happy, help me level up and become a better version of myself and they never make me feel bad for doing it either. Thats what I look for in a husband, high quality mindset who lives in his beautiful madculine purpose 🥰 Thank you for this video! X
Anna is a example to every woman
She always look simple but flawlessly beautiful
Lots of love from Nepal ❤️💖
My guy learned something from his wealthy Godmother back in the day that he taught to me. "It's not what you make, it's what your bills are." Buy quality and live below your means. Minimize your debts as much as possible. (That last part was mine.) 😁
It's amazing how I've witnessed your own personal growth in this channel. It's great to see you talking about these topics because ultimately the goal for anybody looking for affluence is to get happiness and stability.
I just enjoyed the experiences, but it was back in the day when I had no idea what leveling up was!
Financial security is so important to give the freedom for greater things like love, friendship, health and spiritual growth as a human being.
❤❤
That is exactly right ,if you don’t have your health you don’t have anything. I just had my 5 th spine surgery so I know that all I want is a pain free day ! Money helps to help you have comfort and it is really nice not have to worry about bills , but I am always recovering from pain.
OMG i get you ..a pain free day is something i havent expérienced in years ..
Hi 👋 Carlsen, can I please ask you a question?
@@charliearthur1134 yes. Ask 💋
This is so true. Due to the environment I lived in, I ended up going out with men (boys lol) who were way wealthier than myself. It caused a lot of discomfort on both sides, and once it was even the reason we broke up. My current partner apparently noticed my dislike for wealth (beyond my own) and pretended to be from a modest family. It was only once we had been together for many months that I slowly started to find inconsistencies and he admitted it. Safe to say, it really isn't the wealth (or lack thereof!) but about a person who is willing understand me and do sth like this for me.
The number one most valuable thing we have as humans is our ability to have a relationship with God. You are right though, health and love is so vital. I have been poor and affluent and all in-between, love, attention and health have made the seasons ☀️ or 🌧
Believing in God makes all the difference. When you have no money.. Believing in God helps because we know he will take care of us.. We just have to do our best. Having all the money in the world and not believing in God must be so scary. When someone has money and can get everything but still feels this emptiness.. It's even scarier with money than without.. Because ppl who have no money can always hope.. "if I had money I could..xy and be happy".. People with money csn do so many things and know.. That's not enough
Yes!
Thanks Anna for being frank, I lost my mum 6 years ago and its good to have a mentor and coach replacing her.
Am a big fan!
I love your emphasis on not focusing on superficiality-the opposite of what most think is a key part of achieving an affluent life
Hi 👋 Jennifer, can I please ask you a question?
Thank you Anna for revealing the other side of the coin. My biggest take from this is to Stay true to thyself and be responsible for your own happiness.
I don't have a boyfriend, and I am not looking for one. But having elegance, grace and wisdom is my new goal. Not because I want to attract a man, but to be a better me.
Perhaps it's easy to equate money with happiness, because money worries creates anxiety and unhappiness. Money security lessens the anxiety and unhappiness, but on its own Doesn't Create Happiness. Minimal anxiety and worry, and nurturing your soul is what creates happiness.
That's right!
You need to put your money in different savings and no one should know about how much money you have or where you save the money.
Your visuals are so lovely!!! And you are more articulate too. I love the progress I am seeing.
Health is the most important of course and the last point is absolutely true! I also had to found out that when having not much to spend on, things become way more value because they are no certainty.
"Money buys everything, includying true love." (Nelson Rodrigues, Brazilian writer)
Thats true. I dont think i could fall in love with a handsome but poor guy. Being poor is a deal breaker.
Living in a material world and I'm a material girl🤣..
Always great content, especially in touching on the part about wealth being essentially meaningless if one is mentally or spiritually unbalanced. The difference is that the wealthy person likely has the time and resources to seek help in whichever way they choose (therapy, rehab, retreats, etc.) while someone without means or a support system typically has to fend for themselves.
I love how you always greet us with " My dear elegant ladies"❤
Health and our love ones 👏🏻🧁 the motor to make all the wealth we want 🥳
I totally agree
Wealth in money is differed then wealth family’s health
Thank you for this video Anna. I am a mental health therapist and work with people from all walks of life. I couldn't agree more, that spiritual connection, staying in the present moment, and doing what you can with what you have (I would also argue gratitude can be quite helpful), is the way to find that inner peace and happiness. Money can help people acquire resources but without these insights of what's actually important in life, many people find themselves lost and searching for other things to fill that void. Really important video!
Love how realistic you are ! Bringing some of us back down to earth when maybe we don't see the reality of these things
I have been watching and observing your videos a lot, but I must say honestly..I see your videos this year filled with beautiful wisdom! A true elegance lady, the higher the class is, the more wisdom they have!. You inspire me a lot big sis 👍
One more thing to add, love does not always come from external factors. We will stop chasing external love when we love ourselves. 👍
Thank you for mentioning pets as a source of love..their love is pure and the best guide, model and standard for other relationships
I think this episode is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT messages you have ever imparted on your audience. It made me like and respect your channel even more! You shared WISDOM dear. ❤️
It’s true that many rich men have serious faults. However, women who are attracted to these types of men, may lack an awareness of the vulnerabilities that caused them to overlook these faults. ☕️
..or they lack boundaries...which a healthy women should have
Anna, your hair looks so good💯
Right? I think her hair color is a cooler blonde color! I definitely listened to and loved the honest information in this video but definitely noticed her hair too
It takes a grounded, matured and wise person to enjoy wealth without getting destroyed by the illusion it creates.
This video is spot on. You touched on so many key topics. We cannot find love and balance in others without first finding love, joy, and balance within ourselves.
Hi 👋 Cambria, can I please ask you a question?
I choose my friends and close ones based on their core values which lets me know how long a relationship will last with them. But first, you’ve to know your own values.
Work hard (studying/working) and build yourself a good job/business and you would get security and peace of mind, but always remember to enjoy your hard work in the best way.
I think having money, good health makes you happy. You don't have to have billions but having 1 million and live on the interests does help to be happy. Coz you can afford to travel and enjoy life.
Totally agree. Money helps in everything, but it should not be your greatest love.
Being truly Loved, having Good Health and comfortable wealth is true happiness
@@catherinele1580 agree
Hi 👋 Joy, can I please ask you a question?
@@charliearthur1134 Again really. This is the third person he has asked this question. What a con artist.
I agree wth you Anna; I feel that one does not live with the money, one lives with the man and it's important to have the same hobbies and politics and so forth. Also, no abusive guy is worth any amount of money and, yes, some rich men are simply crooks!
I am commenting again.
This is so far the best and the most honest video of yours. Loving it.
Anna, your messages are well received this morning. Thank you! Balance of mental status is a must for ourselves and our partner's, in all realms and areas of our life.
Additionally, your look today is very fresh, healthy, and as inspiring as your message.
Hello 👋.....How are you doing today???????
Hi 👋 Carol, can I please ask you a question?
@@charliearthur1134 What's up with this "Can I please ask you a question?" business.
@@Sexxxyism lol I didn't know that some men are hitting on ladies here
Absolutely agree! Being healthy, happy and loved are the most important things in life.
Thanks you for this video. I used to chase material things but then I became a born again Christian. I still enjoy my luxury moments but appreciate simple things at the same time.
Wow, ma'am may God bless u 🙏 ❤ 💖
The first thing mentioned is the most important, from my own experience I can tell you how empty I feel right now that I have many of the things that in the past I just could dream to have. I'm trying with therapy and is starting to help. Money can't buy you the love of other people, and most importantly, it can't buy you self love, respect and self steem. You most cultivate those things in your life since the very beginning so you can enjoy the future abundance coming, otherwise is just empty...
Best wishes to you! I remember the thrill I got walking through the grocery store and knowing I could buy whatever I wanted at the grocery store :). After a while you just quit wanting to buy things.
Health is very important, but I love what you said about the importance of being fully present and mindset. Spirituality is so important for me and keeps me grounded. Love these! Thanks 💗
Yes, that's what really is important: Health and our loved ones. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. You're truly grounded and affluent.
Recently found your channel thanks to YT algorithms. Thank you from Vancouver Island, it’s a breath of fresh air hearing you speak my language.
About 23 years ago, I went to this seminar where a very wealthy man was speaking. He was describing that one day he was looking at his marble floors and marble walls of his mansion and he was feeling so empty and lost, he had it all, multiple cars, a wife, children, everything that money could buy but he couldn't be more empty and lost. This is why we must cultivate our mind and heart first ladies and be fulfilled within ourselves, because when we do this, we'll attract a man who has done the same.
You said so many truths in this video!!! I don’t know how many women are aware of this! Excellent video 🥂
I remember being obsessed with becoming rich. I knew a rich girl and getting to know her I would say hmm rich people aren't necessarily nice people. They are quite snobbish and really regard good looks and money as being very important in their circle :) she wanted to marry a rich man and ended up with a guy who wasn't rich. But good for her -love is more important and money can come along later x
so you applied this one girl's actions to all rich?
@@cheery-hex No, but I know they're not very nice people. I used to work in a building full of entrepreneurs (it was start up companies and some of the men/ladies had good money) and they regard good looks and youth as important (I was in early 20s) and I know they werent nice people deep down. I would prefer to be poor and humble and a good person than being super rich. Try it yourself go to designer shops mix with them and you will find theyre not nice.
Wealth comes with nightmarish responsibility. Your time will never be your own, neither will your home... your houses. Shopping and self maintenance will become boring chores. With wealth comes the loss of carefree days that used to nourish your spirit...And constant daydreams of escaping the rat race.. and laying in the grass in 2nd hand clothes, eating a take out burger and joining a drum circle
This must have been one of your best videos, Anna ! All the best.
I came across Bey’s channel by chance. I find her to be absolutely lovely and right on point always. I also appreciate that she’s honest about having gone for some cosmetic work herself and having learned her beautiful manners later in life. Refreshing.
In my opinion, Treating like a queen 👸🏻 only happens in dating phase of life. Love bombing. After that, the man changes into a narcissist. So I feel, best to rely on ourselves. Never leave your job ( which gives you your ‘own ‘ money ) irrespective of how wealthy your partner/ husband is. This way, incase you want to leave then you are not penniless and you are not living with a jerk only because you can’t afford anywhere else to go! Also have a life of your own- socialise with like minded friends/ talk to people/ keep busy with a project of your own. Never let your life revolve around the man. This will keep your core value of happiness in your own control and nobody else will ever have power over you or can manipulate you in anyway.
Anna you're so full of life, watching you really makes my day honestly❤️❤️❤️❤️ everyday should be Anna day😜😍
If you're not wealthy doesn't mean you have love, either. I've been on both ends of the wealth spectrum, and rich is better; generally, the richer you are, the healthier you are.
I believe money is not the end goal but definitely an upgrade from a place of poverty. I've also learned from some rich people, that if you spend too much time investing in material wealth, you could feel trapped with those things. So imo, don't think wealth is the biggest thing you can achieve. It's just a tool only to be used to improve psychological and physical health
A man I dated who is wealthy admitted to being a psycho, etc etc and told about several disturbing things he has done for “jobs”. He also used his money to manipulate others into believing he is kind and confident, yet he is wildly insecure and scary dangerous.
@@LA-wv7gf thank, and likewise to you on being safe. It’s definitely a learning experience.
I agree with everything you say Anna. I have so many clothes and purses that I felt “isnt stylish” anymore. I had big busts my entire teenage and adult years that I had to get surgery to make them smaller. I treated myself to new shoes, lingerie and dresses but I decided to make the best out of my old clothes and enjoy them because I can fit in them. It brought me happiness ❤
I absolutely agree with your points! Having met different types of men with money, I can attest that there are scumbags, criminals and down right scheme making, weasels out there that we need to be extremely vigilant to stay away from. If caught in their world, it could just create a world of undeserved misery and stress for us. I also agree that there are nice, balanced ones who are generous and will care for you like the queen you are :)
Money certainly doesn’t buy happiness but without it life is bladdy miserable!!!!! A little money helps to lighten the load. Agreed, health and love first but just a comfortable amount of money helps put a smile on everyone’s face.
Hello 👋.....How are you doing today???????
Hi 👋 Dear, can I please ask you a question?
Anna I can honestly say you saved lives with this one, and it is not the first time either.... the BAD APPLES...... GOLDEN CAGES.... BAD CHARACTER TRAITS..... CRIMINAL AFFLUENT MEN..... More absolutely sterling content for those who want to pay attention to their lives long term and short term.
I’m so grateful for a human being like you to ignite knowledge in this world.. it’s truly amazing 🤩 thank you!
Preach to Anna for her authenticity, honesty and the knowledge she shares 💕 Bless you and have a wonderful life ❤️
Great video, Anna! A little closer to our hearts! I love your teachings from the other videos and learned a lot from them, but this one hit differently. Thank you! Hope to see more like this video in the future! Wish you all the best! Sabina

I think love comes before health. I know so many people with impaired or sick loved ones who yet appreciate every second with each other. Being unhealthy is not an obstacle to love. On my wedding day, my husband and I promised to love each other through health and sickness - and I truly believe that through love, we can handle all these challenges. Even if one of us - or one of our children - gets sick, we'll have each other and all the effort that comes with it will be worth it. We can't promise each other to stay healthy and independent until the end of our lives, but we can promise to commit to each other in acts of self-giving love. I think, this is the greatest gift.
Ladies in the love category, always remember to love yourself ❤️
I'm so thankful for your videos, Anna! I always listen to them on Sunday while cooking and I usually don't have time to skip through ads, so I just let them run. But I always feel like it's a small contribution to your work for us ❤️
I see a great improvement in the content of videos and the way of presenting and your body language 👏keep it up elegant Lady👌🙌
You are SO right, Miss Anna! I was with a narcissistic man who was going to inherit money. I actually didn't believe that he would but I did love him. Whew! God saved me from a lifetime of abuse because he eventually married another woman who happened to be a gold digger. She only saw money in her future but never spent any time with him and didn't know that he also is an alcoholic.So, all of this to say that you must be aware, patient and not swoon over a man just because he has or may get a lot of money. Thank you for your wonderful counsel, Miss Anna.
I have been both rich & poor. These lessons are true for both.
So true anna about #4. Not all wealthy are having the time of their loves during expensive vacations. Most of them family members fight a lot during vacations which others think of as ideal but actually not.
I was waiting for this video. And you teach the best thing that Hunger for rich people is not always a cool thing. Thanks for this Anna 🌸
Health is important but love and morality, having a good character, are more important.
This was an excellent video, Anna. Wisdom that’s much needed in the level up/femininity/hypergamous community. Very insightful and this gives a reality check!!!
Hi 👋 Rose, can I please ask you a question?
@@charliearthur1134 Wasting your time, Chuck.
Please post a video on *Hairstyles for Workplace* , Anna💜 Love from India 🇮🇳 Waiting for your podcast comeback 🤗💕
yes please!!
Waiting 😊
I love how we’re seeing more of Anna’s personality in these videos. I found the peace part so funny 🤣
What a truly amazing video. This applies to every level of life. There are unfortunately too many people with no regard for anyone but themselves and their goals. 💗
Thank you, Anna, for your sincerity. I am so impressed by the wisdom and depth of your character.
Happy Halloween, elegant friends🎃
Oh Anna, thank you for this… my sister called my attention to this video and it is very educative and eye opening, one must borrow a leaf from the realness of the message! Blessings…
I agree that money is about security,
not happiness.
My son has entered a private school this year and all kids get along well. However you can see the parents have there own little groups. And as you say the IT crowd isn't the group to be with. They chase, side eye, don't say Hi, ... I don't push anything. I prefer for it to grow organically. Si I took a friend to the social club and little did I know she knew one of those moms 😂 and a connection started 😜 So great for info and tips Anna, def taking notes 👏🏽🌹
my uncle used to be an IT in a global company but he didnt enjoy anyhing about of the hlife. he had to overcome hardships during his childhood for that he grown with a scarcity mindset .that s right when you said that rich people have inner issues too but they are not about money.
This is true about lavish vacations. I stayed at a Hilton in Bora Bora, Tahiti in an overwater bungalow for 1k a night. Paradise, right? Wrong. The ocean hits the pilings beneath the bungalow, I thought there was constructed going on. The bungalow would shake. Also, there were U.S. citizens and Asians there, who were not happy. They were complaining about bugs. I left and stayed at a place in Bora Bora for $100 a night on the ocean. I swam every day to the restaurant Bora Bora Club. I met natives and French people. I had a great, FANTASTIC time. I felt like I was really having a relaxing adventure, as opposed to vacationing with rich, unhappy people I can meet easily in the U.S.A.
I'd rather have problems with money than without.
Well done Anna, now you are talking.
Now I have respect for you, giving this message to the ladies out there.
