Your Childhood Money Script Controls You
- Your subconscious "money script" formed in childhood controls financial choices like jobs, pricing, and spending guilt.
- Identifying and rewriting that script changes emotions around money and shifts behavior toward wealth.
Rewrite Your Money Narrative
- Write down your earliest money memory and identify which of the four scripts you follow: avoider, worshipper, status, or vigilant.
- Rewrite your script (e.g., “Money is a tool that lets me create freedom and help more people”) and rehearse it regularly.
Personal Struggle With Money Vigilance
- Leila identifies as money-vigilant despite public displays, explaining she spends far less than her net worth suggests and rented for years.
- When profits dip, she instinctively tightens spending but now counters that urge by deliberately spending to retrain her brain.
