Everyone’s relationship with money is different based on how we’ve grown up. When I started earning money, there was a lot I didn’t know. It was the first time I had money, and I was scared to lose it, to spend it, or do anything with it. I just wanted it to sit there and keep accumulating. I had heard horror stories of people being irresponsible with money and losing everything, so every time I spent it, I felt guilty. I would question every purchase and ask myself if it was “worth it” or if I really “needed it.” Not a fun way to live, let me tell you.
