Is It Really a Cost... or an Investment?

How Shifting Your Mindset Can Transform Your Health, Wealth, and Family's Future

What if the real question isn’t "Can I afford this?" but "Can I afford not to?"

In this episode of Mom Bosses Abroad, we challenge one of the most common limiting beliefs women have when it comes to stepping into new levels of freedom and impact: “I just don’t have the money.”

Desiree and Iva unpack the difference between spending and investing, the dangers of fear-based decisions, and how to start thinking like a wealth creator—not just a consumer.

The Consumer vs. Investor Mindset

You wouldn’t blink at spending $1,000 on a new iPhone or a vacation. But when it comes to investing in your health or your long-term freedom? Suddenly we hesitate.

That’s the consumer mindset at play—focused on instant gratification. The investor mindset, on the other hand, sees the long game: investing in things that create value over time, like wellness tools, real estate, or leveraged business models.

And let’s be honest—what good is the newest phone if your body, mind, and family are running on empty?

Health Is the Real Wealth

Water is the most basic building block of our bodies—yet most of us are drinking dead, plastic-filled liquid that does little to nourish us.

Desiree shares how discovering structured, hydrogen-rich Kangen Water completely shifted her family’s health and toxic-free lifestyle. And Iva dives deep into how the real cost isn’t just the purchase—it’s what we’re sacrificing by not making the change:

• Long-term health outcomes
  
  
• Daily vitality
  
  
• Our children’s toxic load
  
  
• And our ability to feel good in our bodies
  
  

The truth? That bottle of water from a vending machine isn’t cheaper in the long run. Investing in wellness that lasts decades makes way more sense.

Making the Numbers Make Sense

Here’s the math: The Kangen K8 has a 25+ year lifespan. When you break down the investment, it comes to about 55 cents per day.

That’s a fraction of your daily coffee run. And unlike your latte, it hydrates your cells, supports your detox systems, replaces cleaning products, and serves your entire family.

Plus, once you start replacing things like conditioner, toner, and even household cleaners—you’re not just investing. You’re saving.

From Health Investment to Wealth Creation

This isn’t just about the water. It’s about what the water unlocks.

With Enagic’s affiliate model, your purchase also becomes a business opportunity. One that creates:

• Residual income
  
  
• Global reach
  
  
• Generational impact
  
  
• Freedom to work from anywhere
  
  

You can bless five families and earn your investment back. And from there? The sky's the limit.

What’s the Real Cost of Not Investing?

We always say: playing it safe is the riskiest move.

Not investing could mean:

• Missing milestones because you’re tied to a job
  
  
• Scrambling if you or your partner lose employment
  
  
• Paying out of pocket for health issues that could’ve been prevented
  
  

This is about legacy. About being the gatekeeper of your family’s wellness and the author of your financial story.

So ask yourself: Are your decisions being made from present fear… or future freedom?
