"I don't deserve to earn more money."
"Money is the root of all evil."
"Rich people are greedy"
"Having and earning a lot of money isn't spiritual."
"Money is power, and power corrupts."
"It's better to give than to receive."
"Wanting to have a lot of money is selfish."
"There's never enough money."
"Money doesn't grow on trees."
"People who have a lot of money are generally dishonest."
"People with lots of money are unhappy."
Have you heard any of these sayings? I bet you have. I certainly have. Money and our relationship
to it can be good or bad depending on our beliefs about money and wealth. What you believe
about money will directly correlate to how much money you make, how you make money, and how
you treat money. Your beliefs can keep you in debt, struggling to make ends meet to support
yourself and your family if you have one. (I firmly believe that all of us have a family to support,
even if it's a family of one.)
Your beliefs about money can determine whether or not you can experience an infinite
abundance. Your beliefs can also determine whether you create money through struggle or
suffering. Your beliefs can keep you in a dead end job with no way to advance. Or you believe that
the only way to make more money is by working harder longer, and have more jobs.
How do you feel about money? Do you relate money with wealth? Remember our thoughts control
our lives, and our thoughts about money are just as controlling as our thoughts about our weight,
our jobs, or our families.
The relationship with money will determine your financial comfort zone. This comfort zone feeling
comes primarily from your subconscious, the part that is the deepest emotional realm. Your past
experiences with money also determine your comfort zone. You will need to scrap all those beliefs
right now in order for you to create whatever money amount you desire. You will need to give
yourself permission to experience financial wealth.
Make friends with money and wealth. Change those attitudes. Money and wealth are not evil.
What is evil is how you invest, spend, or give away your money. If you can switch to that there is
abundance out there, and some of that abundance is yours to share, then you will start improving
your income. If you start spending and giving away money with an attitude of gratitude, then you
will be even more enriched.
I was always taught that in order to have money you had to work really hard. I became one of
those school teachers. I work overtime, but I'm not paid for that time. I don't get bonuses
throughout the year. I get a salary, and I have to live off of that salary to make ends meet. I didn't
go into education for the money. That is true, but I sometimes harbor that resentment that others
can make more money just because of their overtime.
I used to take on extra jobs to add income to my finances. You know $20 for this and that, doesn't
really add up once you take out income taxes and social security. The other idea that was installed
upon me by my Dad was that you needed to save for retirement. I started an annuity (403b which
is similar to a 401k) and have kept it going almost the entire time I've been teaching. I don't expect
or believe social security will be around when I will need it.
In the past year, I have learned to spend my money differently. I am now investing my money in
Wall Street stocks. This is fun, and yet it is also nerve racking. However, I'm in this for a very long
haul, and I firmly believe that if you buy stock low, and then sell high, you'll have the best formula
for making money. I don't let the ups and downs of Wall Street get to me. I'm letting them ride.
Right now stocks are down, and this is the best time to purchase those stocks. If Warren Buffet
can start out buying a little stock, and build his prosperous enterprise, then so can I. That also
means you can too.
Best Advice
One very important aspect that I've learned about money is trust no one. I repeat, trust no one with
your money. Andrew Tobias wrote a book titled: The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need. He
stressed this over and over. No matter how you feel about money trust no one.
I have a good friend, and when her husband died 11 years ago, she had money to invest. She
used the same investment person that her husband had been working with. She never questioned,
the guy, and he told her that he would set up an account that in seven to eleven years she would
net over $500,000. Guess what? You're right. Her investments have barely given her over
$20,000.
She never questioned him until the other day. It's a good thing she did. Now, she is asking lots of
questions, and seeking other advice and opinions on investment procedures. To remove her
investments from where they are, to a different investment portfolio will cost her about $4500.
That's a huge chunk of change. Had she been involved in the beginning she probably would be up
to $500,000, but she's not. She has about 12 years before she can retire from the school system,
and she wants that money to grow more than it has in the past 11 years.
Trust no one, and start paying attention to your money. You and you alone are the captain of your
ship. When you realize that your beliefs are stopping your progress, then you'll need to replace
those beliefs with a more positive focus. Maybe you could write an affirmation or two about your
new belief system.
Remember you deserve to be rich, and wealthy. You deserve all the money that you desire.
Money was created for everyone's use equally. You don't need to work harder to obtain more
money, you need to work smarter. In fact let your money work for you instead.
