Today, money is much more than a means of making purchases. Housing, food, education, healthcare, travel, and even the time we can dedicate to ourselves depend largely on our financial circumstances. What one person considers an ordinary expense may be a dream that another spends months hoping to fulfill. While some people think about how to invest their money, others are busy figuring out how to make it to the end of the month. As a result, money not only makes our lives easier but also highlights the gaps between different social classes.
Given how important money has become, it is only natural that many people are looking for ways to earn more. One concept that has frequently appeared in personal development and spiritual content in recent years is “money blocks.” According to those who advocate this approach, abundance and prosperity are limitless in the universe; however, people's subconscious beliefs about money may prevent them from attracting that abundance into their lives. They argue that thoughts such as “Money is evil,” “Money is hard to earn,” “Rich people are greedy,” or “Money corrupts people” stand in the way of financial abundance. As a solution, they recommend replacing negative beliefs with positive ones.
While working on a new blog post, I thought, why not write something that is both humorous and grounded in reality this time? And so, I put together the following list.
A Few Reminders to Help You Love Money and Release Your Money Blocks :)
- Money makes the credit card bill behind your vacation photos a little less frightening.
That credit card debt you rack up just to post vacation photos on Instagram can come back to haunt you later. Saving up for your trip in advance means you won't have to bring home debt along with your memories. After all, just because your vacation lasts three days doesn't mean your credit card bill will last only three days.
- Money may blind love, but bills have perfect eyesight.
Spending a romantic evening with your partner is lovely. But when the electricity bill arrives, you might find yourself questioning your electricity consumption rather than the strength of your relationship. Romance is wonderful, but setting up automatic bill payments is a love language, too.
- Money can change the subject of some of the problems you discuss with your therapist.
Struggling to make it to the end of the month can be a source of stress in itself. Having savings can ease the financial pressure caused by unexpected expenses. At the very least, you might get to add “Where should I go on vacation this month?” to the question “Why does my money never seem to be enough?”
- Money gives you the courage to look price tags in the eye.
If your budget allows it, you may no longer have to calculate the price of every item three times in your head while shopping. That's one of the luxuries money can offer you.
- Show people who say money can't buy happiness how excited you get when opening a delivery package.
Money doesn't guarantee happiness, and excessive shopping isn't good for you either. Yes, all of that is true. But there's one undeniable fact: opening a delivery package feels good.
- Money can make your relationship with your credit card less toxic.
Continuously postponing credit card payments instead of paying off your balance can lead to hefty interest charges. Paying off your debts on time can help you get the third party in your relationship with the bank—interest—out of your life.
- Money can reduce how often you open the calculator app at the supermarket.
If your income comfortably covers your basic needs, you might spend more time looking at the nutritional value of an egg than calculating its price per unit. Of course, budgeting matters at every income level; the point is to stay in control of how you spend your money. Still, there's no denying that constantly calculating the price of everything can be stressful in its own right.
- Money can reduce the need to Google “natural home remedies” whenever you get sick.
Financial resources can make it easier to access healthcare and take time off work to rest when necessary. Money can't guarantee good health, but it can ease some of the financial burdens that come with health problems.
- Money can make your relationship with inflation feel less personal.
Don't think inflation has it in for you personally; the economy isn't personal. Your wallet, however, might take it a little personally. The stronger your financial position, the better equipped you may be to weather the effects of inflation.
- Money can keep you from treating your relatives' phone numbers as financial resources in an emergency.
If you have an emergency fund, you're less likely to find yourself desperately searching for someone to borrow money from when an unexpected expense comes up. That way, you can call the cousin you haven't spoken to in ages just to ask how they're doing. Let family bonds develop independently of outstanding loans.
- Money gives you the luxury of saying “no.”
If you have savings, you may feel less pressured to accept every job offer, social invitation, or financial opportunity that comes your way. Financial security gives you more options. Money can't open every door, but it can give you the key to walk out of some of them.
- Money can solve some of life's problems without being the sole source of happiness.
Money can't buy love, cure every illness, or make every problem disappear. But it can make it easier to meet essential needs such as housing, education, transportation, and financial security.
