No matter where you are in your financial life, you have one. Money is an important aspect to drawing breath and walking around on earth, especially in western civilizations. The first thing to grasp when trying to get comfortable around money is that money isn’t constrained to notes. At best money is a concept or construct.

Most civilizations use notes or words and numbers printed on a piece of paper, as well as coins made out of medal. Some civilizations or people groups may use commodities for money such as beans, cigarettes, or shells. The reason this is important is because it’s not uncommon for someone to have nervous energy around money.

Money can elicit an array of different emotions from a person.

How you think and relate to your funds contributes to how much money you may ultimately end up having at any given point in time.
