Ladies, let’s talk about money—not just as numbers in your bank account but as if it were a real person in your life. Imagine money as someone you’re in a relationship with. Would it feel cherished, respected, and welcomed? Or would it feel neglected, mistreated, or even unwanted?
Too often, we unknowingly create an unhealthy relationship with money without realizing it. But what if you started treating it like a trusted friend, a loving partner, or even your biggest cheerleader? Let’s dive into this mindset shift and see how you can build a better connection with wealth.
1. Are You Ignoring Money?
Think about how you act in relationships. If you constantly ignore someone, don’t check in on them, or avoid conversations, that relationship will weaken. Now ask yourself—do you ignore your finances? Do you avoid checking your bank account because you don’t want to face reality?
A healthier approach: Start engaging with your money regularly. Check your balances, track your income, and be mindful of your spending. Just like a good friend, money appreciates attention and care.
2. Do You Only Call When You Need Something?
We all know that one person who only reaches out when they need a favor. If you only think about money when bills are due or when you’re in a tight spot, it’s like being that friend who only calls in a crisis.
A healthier approach: Shift your mindset. Instead of seeing money as something you chase in emergencies, start appreciating it when it’s present. Celebrate when you receive money, no matter how small the amount, and express gratitude for it.
3. Are You Resentful Towards Money?
Ever been in a relationship where you secretly resented the other person? Maybe you feel like money is never there when you need it, or you get frustrated that others seem to have more of it.
A healthier approach: Shift from resentment to appreciation. Instead of saying, “I never have enough money,” try “I am open to receiving more money with ease.” Your mindset and language around money play a huge role in how it flows into your life.
4. Do You Treat Money Recklessly?
If you had a friend who was always kind to you, but you treated them carelessly, they might not stick around. The same goes for money. If you constantly overspend without thinking, avoid managing it wisely, or fear handling it, money won’t feel like staying in your life.
A healthier approach: Respect money by budgeting, saving, and investing. Show it that you value its presence by being intentional with how you use it.
5. Do You Trust Money, or Are You Afraid It Will Leave?
Many of us have a fear-based relationship with money, constantly worrying that it will disappear. Imagine if you treated a friend like that—always afraid they’d abandon you. That energy would push them away.
A healthier approach: Trust that money will continue to flow into your life. Work on shifting from a scarcity mindset (“There’s never enough”) to an abundance mindset (“Money is always circulating and coming back to me”).
6. Are You Open to Receiving Money?
If someone tried to give you a gift, but you kept rejecting it, they’d eventually stop offering. Money works the same way. If deep down you feel guilty about receiving wealth or think you don’t deserve it, you might unknowingly block financial opportunities.
A healthier approach: Be open to receiving money in all forms—whether it’s a client, a bonus, or even a free coffee. Practice saying, “I am worthy of abundance.”
The Bottom Line: Make Money Your Best Friend
Imagine money as a supportive, loving friend who wants the best for you. How would you treat it differently? By changing your energy and approach, you can shift from struggling with money to welcoming more of it into your life.
So, ladies—how are you going to start treating money today? Let’s make it feel appreciated, respected, and wanted, just like any great relationship in life!
