Money scripts is the term that we use to describe beliefs about money. Most of us aren't even really aware of em, but they have a profound impact on our financial outcomes. So your money script came from growing up in a household where having enough money was a struggle. There are other scripts that also come from growing up poor, or watching your parents fight about money,. And let's look at some of those other scripts - like money avoidance.

Money worries are one of the biggest sources of anxiety in the lives of Americans. This week, we kick off our new "Money 2.0" series with psychologist Brad Klontz. He says that while external economic forces often shape our financial well-being, our unconscious beliefs about money also contribute to how well we manage our money.
