How's Your Relationship With Money?
Money, like relationships, is an integral part of life. One of the first steps to dealing with money problems is to recognize that we have our own unique way of "being" with money. Some of us may characterize ourselves as penny-pinchers, compulsive spenders, gamblers, overspenders, underearners, or financial wrecks.
How we look at money, how we act with it, and what we expect from it determine how we relate to it and, ultimately, how much we have. If we're not happy in a personal relationship, we might ask ourselves what we don't like. From there, we look at our behavior. What can we change? If we're not happy with the way we're relating to money, if we're uncomfortable with the amount of debt in our lives, we need to look at changing the way we behave with money.
Start now to assess your relationship between you and your money. Note your spending patterns and more importantly the events and emotions that you are currently going through when you are pulling out your credit card.
Get to truly know your relationship with money, this is key to digging out of credit card debt and ultimately keeping more money in your bank account.
