Lots of articles, and even this Embrace Prosperity book invite you to change your relationship to money, but sometimes it’s useful to rediscover just what that relationship is. You developed that relationship in childhood, without thinking about it.
I’ve used a list of 15 questions to help clients figure out that relationship. Just a few of them can help you think about how you learned to regard money when you were small and vulnerable.
First, describe the money situation in your family when you were young. Then, think about how and when you became aware of that situation. Another way of asking might be when and how did you figure out what was going on. It might have been listening to a discussion or overhearing an argument. Perhaps you had no idea about it until you could compare your family with another family.
Just thinking about these answers will help you learn where your ideas come from. Remember, what is “truth” about money for you may be entirely different for someone else.
Another question is whom do you talk to about money? If talking about money is as hard for you as it is for many people, you might start by sharing your answers to these questions with someone you trust and asking them to share their answers with you.
Remember it’s an exploration, not a test. There are no wrong answers.
For a wealth of information about money, scarcity, and prosperity, read “Embrace Prosperity.”
