Abundance and scarcity are neutral states, not moral judgments. Scarcity can teach careful money management, but it becomes a problem only when it blocks growth. How you respond to either matters more than which one you're in.
Whenever we talk about money, we now hear abundance and scarcity and that abundance is inherently good and scarcity is inherently bad. And if you just have more abundant thoughts, then money is going to flow your way and all of this stuff. I actually like to tell people that those concepts are neutral. Abundance is not inherently good. Scarcity is not inherently bad. And if we can reframe, like scarcity might just mean, hey, I'm a good steward of my wealth and I'm careful with my money. That is a positive reframe on scarcity. We just need to be aware of like, okay, when is this actually being limiting?
