About Me | Scarcity 2 Sovereignty

Hi, it’s great having you here in my online space.

I write as and call myself The Sovereign Being. It’s a pen name I chose long before this blog existed, and it’s not because I’m above anyone. Sovereignty to me means I’m finally under no one. I own my time, my choices, and my relationship with money from the inside out.

And it’s where the name of this blog came from. I share real, lived experiences here, but I don’t share names, exact locations, or too much identifying detail, aside from notable names known to the public. The lessons are real, while the privacy is intentional.

I believe this is due to my extremely introverted nature, because I’m a loner at heart. Ironically, I still enjoy good company, and I’ve been told that I’m very approachable and easy to get along with.

Where I Started

I grew up in a small town with my parents and four siblings. Money was always tight. We lived paycheck to paycheck for as long as I can remember, and that was the atmosphere I knew as normal.

That environment shaped how I thought. For years, I believed wealth wasn’t realistic for someone like me. It was an abstract concept. My mind stored that scarcity as fact.

I carried it into college. I turned down opportunities because they felt too big. I remember a classmate making $2,000 a month from an online business in her dorm. I didn’t ask how. I assumed it was a scheme. I did the same with a small beauty business I ran before college. I undercharged, avoided investing, and it closed within a year.

No budgeting template fixed that, because the problem wasn’t the numbers. It was the mindset behind them.

After college, I worked 6 different jobs. Two permanent night shifts, one odd job, and 3 regular 9-5s.

The Shift That Changed My Life

I attended a wealth and mindset summit in Nashville, Tennessee, almost on a whim. It was the first time I understood that financial freedom starts in the mind long before you imagined it, eventually showing up in a bank account.

Change wasn’t overnight. It was slow and often frustrating. But learning to identify scarcity thinking and replace it with practical, consistent money habits changed the direction of my life.

Why I Started Scarcity 2 Sovereignty

I started this blog in 2026 to document what I’m actively learning and using to build real wealth from a low-income starting point.

This is not an “I’ve made it” blog. It’s a “here’s what’s working while I build it” blog. In some of the blog posts, I share personal stories from my experiences, family, and upbringing to explain the lesson, but never to expose private identities.

What You’ll Find Here

Practical money habits for people starting from behind. Budgeting for beginners, the cash envelope system, saving on a low income, how to have fun on a budget, frugal lifestyle, and investing to build generational wealth.
Honest writing on money mindset. How scarcity quietly runs your decisions and how to shift it.
Verified financial help. Every assistance program, grant, FAFSA guide, ACA resource, and more that I share is thoroughly researched and verified before I publish, linking directly to its official .gov or .org source.

No get-rich-quick promises. No inflated income claims. Just real steps toward frugal living, abundance mindset, financial literacy, and freedom.

My Commitment to Trust

Because I strongly believe trust should not just be handed out cheaply, I work harder to earn yours:

I share methods I am actively using, with real examples.
I link every resource to its official source.
I update posts when deadlines, costs, or rules change.

A Quick Honesty Note

I am not a licensed financial advisor, and nothing on this site is formal financial advice. Everything I write and share comes from personal experience, ongoing research, and continuous learning. Always do your own due diligence before making financial decisions.

If you’ve ever come from a place where there never seemed to be enough, money, time, or stability, you’re in the right place.

Your reign starts here.
