Welcome to the Luxury Unplugged Podcast with me, Neeti Keswani—Business Storytelling Coach, Ho’oponopono Practitioner, and your guide to redefining success and spirituality in the modern world.
Have you ever felt like no matter how much money you earn, it’s just… not enough? Like you’re stuck on a treadmill of earning and spending but never reaching a place of true contentment? If you’re a teenager or young adult stepping into the world of online work and wondering how to make money in a meaningful way, this episode—and this blog—is for you.
Today, we explore something deeper: not just 40 ways to make money online (don’t worry, I’ll guide you there too)—but how to shift your money mindset so you can attract abundance, fulfillment, and spiritual growth along the way.
Money Is Not Just Currency—It’s Energy
Let’s start with a powerful truth: money is life energy.
As Deepak Chopra beautifully puts it:
“Money is life energy that we exchange and use as a result of the service we provide to the universe.”
Read that again.
This quote opens the door to a new way of thinking—especially important for those of us starting young. Whether you’re making your first $5 through online surveys or planning a YouTube channel that might go viral, it’s not just about dollars. It’s about how you channel your time, creativity, and value into the world.
Why Teens Need to Redefine Their Relationship with Money
If you’re a teenager today, you’re lucky. Not because the economy is easier—but because the internet has unlocked new avenues of income that didn’t exist before. You can be a Clickworker, a freelance designer, a content creator, or even launch a small passive income stream while studying.
But with this opportunity comes a choice:
Do you chase money in a constant loop of comparison and consumption?
Or do you align your money-making efforts with deeper meaning and values?
That’s where the spiritual energy of money comes in.
Abundance Is Already Around You—You Just Need to Tap In
We’ve all heard the term “abundance mindset,” but what does it really mean?
Imagine money not as something you run after, but as something that flows through you. When you help someone, when you create something useful, when you show up authentically—you’re letting that energy move.
Here’s an example:
When you support a local business, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in someone’s dream. That’s money as energy. That’s wealth as connection.
And it goes both ways.
When someone pays you for your work—whether it’s editing a video or writing an article—it’s not just a transaction. It’s an energetic exchange.
Scarcity vs. Gratitude: What Are You Really Choosing?
Let me ask you this:
When you spend money—do you feel guilty?
Do you replay the numbers in your head?
Do you tell yourself “I should have saved this” even when it brought you joy?
That’s scarcity speaking.
The shift happens when you start spending with intention and earning with gratitude.
Even if you earn just ₹200 or $5 online today—celebrate it. That celebration amplifies your money energy.
The next time you buy a coffee, or a course, or a dress—ask yourself:
Am I aligned with the feeling this money is bringing into my life?
If the answer is yes, you’ve already begun your spiritual journey with money.
Real-Life Example: Luxury Isn’t Just Price Tag
Let’s say you’re shopping and see a beautiful dress. It fits you like a dream, the fabric is divine, but it’s a bit expensive. You hesitate.
Now here’s the question:
Would buying five cheaper dresses bring the same joy as this one piece that makes you feel confident, radiant, and empowered?
Sometimes we trade long-term satisfaction for short-term deals. But true wealth lies in emotional value, not just price points.
So, don’t just ask “Can I afford this?”
Ask: “Will this amplify my energy, my joy, my peace?”
Money Flow Starts with Inner Peace
There’s a lesson I’ve learned again and again in my coaching practice:
When you’re anxious about money, money resists you.
When you welcome it with gratitude, clarity, and vision, it flows.
Want to start making money online as a teenager? Great.
But before you jump to freelancing platforms or affiliate links, ask yourself:
- What kind of work brings me joy?
- What skills can I offer with authenticity?
- What type of impact do I want to make?
These questions might not have immediate answers, but they are the foundation of abundant income—even at 16, 18, or 21.
Mindful Spending = Magnetic Earning
Here’s a simple practice I use:
Bless every transaction.
Whether you’re earning ₹50 for a blog or spending ₹500 on a gift for your sibling—bless it.
Say to yourself:
“This money is serving a purpose. This energy is coming back multiplied.”
This mindset keeps your wealth spiritual, not stressful.
Billionaires Lose Money Too—What Sets Them Apart?
Let me share an example from the Indian context—Mukesh Ambani and his family.
They’re not just financially rich. They are aligned. Their children pursue purpose-driven ventures. Their family stays connected. Their wealth is an extension of their values.
You don’t need billions to do that. You just need clarity.
You see, money can be lost. But when your money mindset is clear, you can rebuild, reimagine, and rise again.
So How Can You Make Money Online as a Teenager?
Here are a few conscious, value-driven ways:
- Freelancing on platforms like Fiverr, Freelancer, or Upwork
- Content creation (YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, niche TikToks)
- Clickworking (yes, those ₹20/$1 microtasks can add up!)
- Blogging or journaling about your passion, linked with affiliate marketing
- Teaching something online (language, art, gaming tips)
But here’s the twist:
Don’t just do it for money.
Do it for expression.
Do it for contribution.
Do it with meaning.
Because when your work is filled with energy, intention, and purpose—the money follows.
Final Thoughts: Teen or Not, This Applies to Us All
Making money online isn’t just about getting rich.
It’s about becoming rich in values, rich in purpose, and rich in mindset.
If you’re a teenager reading this, know that your journey is just beginning. The way you build your relationship with money now will shape the life you create tomorrow.
So next time you earn that first rupee, dollar, or euro online—pause. Smile. Say thank you.
And remember: You are not just making money. You are becoming energy in motion.
