You might say you're a spender or can't save, but those labels become self-fulfilling. The speaker argues your money identity isn't fixed: you can choose a new character like saver or investor and actually change your behavior to match it.
So what character are you playing with your money? We all play different roles in life. We're one person with our parents, we're another person with our friends, another person at work, and sometimes completely different when nobody's watching. But let me ask you something. Who are you when it comes to money? Because I hear a lot of people say things like, I'm just a spender, or I've never been good with money, or I can't save, or investing isn't just for me. Now you have to be very careful because when you tell yourself something long enough, a behavior becomes an identity. And once it becomes an identity, you start making decisions to prove that identity true. But here's the good news. You can rewrite the character. You can decide, I'm someone who saves. I'm someone who invests. I'm someone who prepares for emergencies. I'm someone who builds financial security. I'm someone my family can depend on without destroying my own financial future. Remember, your past may explain your relationship with money, but it doesn't get to decide your ending. You're still writing the story, so decide who do you want to become with money?
