One of the most common things we do as humans is spend money. We spend a lot of it. And sometimes that can lead to shame and embarrassment.
The problem is, there are so many ways to spend money, and some people make huge mistakes that can cause them to feel ashamed about their personal finances. But if you’re tired of feeling like a failure about your spending habits, then you need to read this article!
We’ve all been there: you buy something expensive at the mall and then immediately feel guilty about spending so much money on something that wasn’t really worth it in the first place. You wonder why your credit card bills keep getting bigger and bigger. isn’t it enough that you have student loans?
Well, guess what? It is enough! It’s just not enough for you to think about how much money you have in your bank account or how much debt you owe on your credit cards because then all of those thoughts run together into one big mess that makes you feel like crap about yourself.
But don’t worry! I'm here to help.
The first step is to get honest with yourself: Ask yourself what your relationship is really like with money. Are you ashamed of it? Do you feel embarrassed or ashamed when talking about it? Do you hold back from spending money on things that matter to you because of how much it might cost? Do you feel like there's something wrong with the way your partner spends or handles money? If so, talk to them! They may be unaware of their own feelings around money, but if they are aware and willing to work together through these issues, then that's great news!
