E. 22: The Effect Our Money Stories Have On How We Spend, Invest, and Save or Don't Save
What’s your money story?
Money stories originate from events and people in our past—like our parents or primary caregivers—and they often shape our mindset around money in the present.
These stories influence how we spend our money, invest, save or don’t save, and how we feel about money—as well as all of our hangups and issues around money.
In this episode, I’m going to talk all about my own money stories—starting with when I found out that my dad was an accountant—and how my relationship with money has evolved over time.
Interestingly, the reason I talk about money so much is that it’s the tool for getting all the things I actually want—which, ironically, have nothing to do with money. Money opens up time and freedom and it’s a tool to be able to work on projects that I want.
