You’ve probably heard limiting money beliefs like, “money is the root of all evil” or “rich people are greedy.” Believe it or not, the way you think and feel about money plays a huge role in the decisions you make and the way you view money.
If you believe that money is evil and rich people are greedy, how could you ever become rich yourself? You couldn’t. But money isn’t the issue here. Neither is that “problem” you’re facing.
When it all boils down to it, the issue is your mind.
Your belief—your mindset—is what gives money, or anything else in life.
Over time, some people develop an unhealthy money belief system, and those unhealthy thoughts could actually be impairing their ability to get rich. Here is what you need to know about how you can become aware of your limiting, non-supportive beliefs related to wealth and money and change them into supportive ones.
What Is a Money Mindset?
Your money mindset is your personal beliefs and attitude towards money. It can affect how you save, spend, and handle money.
A person with a positive money mindset has beliefs like:
- I don’t have to compare myself to others.
- I enjoy helping others.
- I have the freedom to spend, but I don’t have to.
- It is possible to achieve my financial goals.
Your money mindset doesn’t just focus on your wallet, but it can touch all parts of your life, including your mental health, family, job, friendships, and relationships.
Can I Change My Money Mindset?
Absolutely! It is very possible to change your money mindset.
What Are the Benefits of Having a Positive Money Mindset?
When you have a positive money mindset, you:
- Look for opportunities instead of seeing roadblocks.
- Recognize that every financial situation is fixable.
- See the value of asking for help.
- Accept that small steps add up to progress.
- Turn your attention away from what’s wrong and focus on opportunities for success.
- Determine your actions and results when managing money.
