Episode description

In this episode, you’ll hear me talking about, how for some of us, we may feel a compulsion to spend, even when we don’t have the funds available. 

For others, the challenge could be completely the opposite, a fear of spending money, even if they have it. Often due to deep seated concern that it won’t be available when needed, or not be replaced if spent. 

I will share an example of a client who was able to reframe her fear of spending, into being about the joy she would feel in sharing her purchase with friends. 

I will also talk about some of the reasons why some will experience this discomfort around spending money and tips on how you can self coach yourself, to start reprogramming both the conscious and unconscious mind. 

Fear of spending money is a real thing, and it can be crippling. 

• You actually may have enough money to live on but you're afraid to spend it because you don't know if there will be more in the next month or year.
• You are afraid that if you spend some of your savings, then all of it will disappear before you get another chance to use it again. 
• You feel like saving for retirement is pointless since no one knows how long they'll live anyway ( not true ) 

The truth is, once we start thinking about our money differently, we'll realise how much control we actually have over our lives. When we learn how to invest wisely and grow our wealth slowly but steadily, then life becomes easier because we no longer have this fear of not having enough. We become happier knowing that no matter what happens tomorrow, today is going great!
