Lesson 3: The 1% Keep Rule (Your Identity Detox)

Most people think they need to save a lot to start.
Wrong.

You only need 1%.
That’s it.
One percent of whatever comes in.

Not because the amount matters.
But because the signal does.

The 1% Rule tells your brain:
“I am someone who keeps money instead of leaking it.”

And in Gratitopia, that matters because:

Gratitude shrinks identity → saving becomes easier.

Entitlement inflates identity → saving becomes impossible.

Saving 1% is a gratitude ritual, not a math exercise.

What counts as 1%?

⬇️
Anything.

500 pesos.
One coin.
A digital cent.

The point is to break the psychological curse that says:
“If I can’t save a lot, I won’t save at all.”
