Why I Only Buy New

manifesting mindset spiritual health and wellness Jul 02, 2026

When I was a little girl, I remember going to the car dealerships with my parents.

I loved looking at all of the brand new red sports cars but could never understand why my parents always bought used.

I mean... as a little kid, out of all of the options out there, they always chose the ugliest used ones.

That mentality of “never buy new,” “It’s such a waste of money,” and “It depreciates in value as soon as it drives off the lot” was passed down to me...

Over the years, I watched.

I watched the constant repairs.

I watched the constant complaints.

I watched the arguments.

I watched them go through more used vehicles.

I watched the exact same things happen to me.

Until I decided I wanted better for my life.

I wanted nicer.

I wanted brand new.

I wanted a warranty.

I wanted to not have to worry about repairs or constantly fixing things.

Not because I was “better” than anyone else, but because deep down that’s what my heart wanted.

For me...

Right before I became a mom, I decided to buy myself a brand new black SUV.

In fact, even to this day, I’m the only person in my own family that only buys brand new vehicles.

At the time though, it seemed a little crazy.

I was 26. I had a bought my first house, I had a mortgage, a corporate salary, bills, and a baby coming, and now a brand new car payment....

But driving that brand new SUV did something mentally for me.

It made me realize I could do anything I set my mind to, and that when I raise my personal standards and get out of my comfort zones the Universe always provides ands supports me.

But taking the leap is first always met with fear and negative voices in your head or the limiting beliefs that were handed down to you as a child that tell you that you can’t… or it’s stupid… or you’re wasting your money.

By the time my son was two, I paid that car off in full.

True story...

Seventeen years later, my dad is still driving my old SUV... No joke.

Now, this is not a story about making more money or buying nice new things, or passing on your old used junk to your parents.

But it is a story about what’s possible, what not to do, why I do what I do, and what I had to learn and overcome mentally over the years.

Why?

Because it was painful.

It was painful for me as a little girl wanting my parents to choose the new car and ending up with a rusty old minivan.

It was painful wanting things for my own life then not knowing how on earth I was going to make it all happen given my circumstances.

It’s painful unlearning all of the limiting beliefs I learned growing up that were blocking me from success later in life.

It's painful being rejected... Sometimes even from your own friends and family because you choose to believe differently, think differently, or live differently.

But it doesn’t have to be painful for you... or anyone.

It can be quick, easy, and a lot more fun.

That’s why I created Mindset Mastery.

That’s why I spent years writing all my books.

Because the truth is, hard work doesn’t always work.

I know many extremely hard workers who never take a sick day...

I know many hard workers who have never taken their kids on a plane ride or have been on a family vacation.

I too fell into that trap, until I decided I wanted better for myself and my own family.

I teach it all inside of Mindset Mastery.
