Ok -- sometimes it is hard for us to realize how we "feel" or "think" about our money. Answer the simple questions and you will get a fast check up!
What do you say about your money when you talk about it?
What do you think when you are thinking about your money?
What actions do you take?
I have noticed that I talk very negatively about money, mainly because I think negatively about it....and, you guessed it, my actions are not positive with money.
Attitude change needed here folks.
Tony Robbins, a self help guru, stated once that to fix a problem -- the key is not dwelling on the negative, (example: Why did this happen? Why me?) but to focus your questions on the positive. (What do I need to do next to make the situation better?) That has helped me with past issues. I just never thought to bring that idea into my money management.
Well, that has changed. I am going to (notice my positive tone!!)think and talk positive about my money, and my financial situation from this point on. It must start with our thinking and move to our talking and then our actions will follow.
You try it too!!

I agree that we need to change our thinking. I was talking with some friends and the idea of spending 39$ to invest in themselves, by taking a class seemed like such a big deal.
They always feel like they will always be broke and never have. I don't agree with that thinking. If I want better, then I have to do better. Most people just wait for the best to fall out of the sky. NOt gonna happen. We have to change our attitude and behavior when it comes to money and make it happen.
You are correct - unfortunately the attitude of "I will always be broke" is more like a prediction for that person -- glad to see that you are ready to do better now!
