How to Attract More Money Coming Your Way with These Simple Steps

You know, I used to think attracting money was all about luck or some secret formula only a few people knew. But over time, I've realized it's more like that slow burn I experienced while playing Dustborn—where Justice gradually reshaped society without anyone really noticing. Just like that game's alternate history where Jackie Kennedy's death changed everything, our financial habits can reshape our lives in ways we don't immediately recognize. Let me walk you through what I've learned works.

First, you've got to understand your current money story. I started by tracking every dollar for 30 days straight—and wow, was that eye-opening. I discovered I was spending about $47 weekly on coffee shops without even realizing it. That's nearly $200 monthly! The key here isn't just tracking, but noticing patterns. Much like how Dustborn's world-building fascinated me initially, observing your financial landscape can reveal fascinating opportunities. Write everything down—every Uber ride, every impulse Amazon purchase. After two weeks, you'll start seeing where your money actually goes versus where you thought it was going.

Next, create what I call 'money magnets'—specific actions that consistently pull opportunities toward you. For me, this meant setting up three automatic transfers: 15% to investments, 10% to savings, and 5% to learning. That last one changed everything—I spent about $32 monthly on skill-building courses that eventually helped me increase my income by 40% within eighteen months. The trick is making these transfers completely automatic, just like how Justice in Dustborn gradually became the new normal. You want financial growth to happen without constant conscious effort.

Here's where most people stumble—they don't create space for money to flow in. I made this mistake for years until I started applying the 'vacancy principle.' Every quarter, I review my services and eliminate one low-value activity to make room for something better. Last quarter, I dropped a client paying $50/hour to free up time for a project that pays $150/hour. This mirrors how in Dustborn, the absence of strong resistance allowed negative changes to take hold—without creating intentional space for better opportunities, we remain stuck with what we've always had.

Now, let's talk about mindset—this is crucial. I developed what I call 'abundance triggers.' Every morning, I write down three money opportunities I expect to encounter that day. They can be small—like spotting a chance to save $10 or finding a potential client. This rewires your brain to notice what you'd otherwise miss. It's the opposite of that slow-boil frog scenario from Dustborn—instead of gradually accepting limitations, you're training yourself to gradually recognize possibilities. After doing this for sixty-three days straight, I found my income sources had diversified from two to seven streams.

Protect your financial energy fiercely. I learned this the hard way when I realized certain relationships were costing me both money and motivation. I now have what I call a 'financial circle'—three people I discuss money goals with monthly. We share opportunities, warn each other about scams, and celebrate wins. This creates accountability without the pressure. Remember, in Dustborn's world, the problem wasn't just one bad decision but the accumulation of unchallenged small changes. Similarly, surrounding yourself with the right people creates positive momentum that compounds over time.

Finally, implement what I call the '15-minute money ritual.' Every Sunday evening, I spend exactly fifteen minutes reviewing the week ahead and identifying one specific action to improve my financial position. Sometimes it's negotiating a bill, sometimes it's researching a new investment. The consistency matters more than the scale—showing up weekly creates cumulative effects much like how Dustborn's alternate history built its compelling narrative through gradual world-building. Last month, this ritual alone saved me $287 on recurring expenses I'd been meaning to address for months.

Attracting more money coming your way isn't about dramatic transformations—it's about those small, consistent steps that reshape your financial reality over time. Just as Dustborn's fascinating alternate history showed how gradual changes can reshape entire societies, your financial future gets built through daily decisions you barely notice at first. Start with one step—maybe tracking your spending or setting up one automatic transfer. The momentum will build naturally, and before you know it, you'll be living in your own positive alternate financial reality.
