Letās get realāmoney guilt and shame keep more people broke than bad financial decisions ever will.
ā Guilt for not saving enough.
ā Shame for past money mistakes.
ā Regret over debt, overspending, or financial struggles.
š” Hereās the truth: Beating yourself up about past money decisions does nothing to change your future. But learning from them? THAT will change everything.
š„ My Own Money Guilt Story
I used to carry so much guilt around money. Every time I looked at past financial mistakes, I felt like I had somehow āfailed.ā
But one day, I realized something:š” Money doesnāt have emotions. Only we do.
Money doesnāt judge you. It doesnāt hold grudges. Itās just a tool. And just like any tool, you can learn how to use it better.
The second I let go of the shame, I could finally move forwardāand thatās exactly what weāre doing today.
