Chapters

For some people, money is just a way to get things, and that's truly what it is. I want to say it's just pieces of green paper, but it's really not even pieces of green paper anymore. It's just numbers on a screen somewhere, right? And it's the meaning that we attach to money. For some people, money means safety. For some people, money means pride. There's a lot of connections that we have, and it's probably not just one thing, right? It's probably complicated and it's multiple things. The first thing I want you to do is think back to what childhood messages did you get about money growing up? And how does that play into how you deal with money now as an adult? And how is that going to play into how you're going to set financial boundaries with other people in your life? Specifically, if you have someone in your life who's struggling with an addiction, money is likely to come up when you're dealing with someone who struggles with an addiction.
