Scarcity and abundance are neutral ways of relating to money, not moral judgments. A scarcity mindset can be prudent stewardship, but taken too far it blocks growth and necessary risk-taking.

Scarcity is not inherently bad. Abundance is not inherently good. They just describe a way that we relate to money. One thing I help people do is reframe scarcity. Instead of being bad, it's just like, hey, I'm a good steward of my wealth. I'm a protector of the wealth that I've created, and I don't want to be frivolous with it. That's perfectly okay as long as we're aware where that might show up as a limitation.
