    The language we use really does shape our feelings toward money. In the end, we're largely in control of whether money makes miserable or happy, regardless of how much we have.

    I absolutely agree with the idea that you can turn expenses into a positive by being grateful that you can handle them. My spouse and I are about to head into rocky financial territory, but all I can think is, "Thank goodness we're in a position where money doesn't come before health care."

    It really is empowering, and keeps us in control. As you mentioned, each of us is the source of our income--it's completely in our own hands.

    @Sara: Great comment. I am sure you and your spouse will be financially stable, it's all about your outlook. You are in control, so keep it up. :)

    Hi Nathalie - I think how we talk about money is really important for our prosperity.

    Many people have beliefs about money that they belive to be truths - it never occurs to them that they can change their beliefs. Your post should help them!

    Cheers - Robin

    Money is such an emotionally charged concept form many because of the powerful lack feelings around it when we were growing up. It's connected to everything yet interestingly having more money doesn't solve money problems.

    A shift in attitude about it works much better as you've so skillfully pointed out.

    @Robin: I agree, the level of wealth we can achieve is linked to our conversations about money.

    @Tom: Having more money doesn't mean everything gets easier, it seems to get harder actually! Thank you for pointing that out. :)

    Hi Nathalie,

    The first two installments have been great. Another trap around wealth is not being able to be happy for someone else who has money. I'll leave it to you to express this in relationship form. 8-)

    I call this behavior and the other ones you describe "spraying prosperity repellent all over yourself".

    EXCELLENT article.


    our own negative Self-Talk is the responsible for most

    of our financial troubles since it keeps reinforcing a

    belief in financial lack and not having enough money.



    GREAT work! I am certain it will helps lots of people.
