How Do You Talk About Money?

Lately I had the experience to be in two different situations and listen to how women speak about money. The first situation the woman was a small business owner who incorporated her business. She has had her corporation three years and is still struggling to pay the employees and rent. As she spoke I heard words like, “Why can’t I get ahead?” “I struggle every month just to pay the bill.” “I don’t pay myself, as there is nothing left at the end of the month.” “I keep pulling money out of my savings, just to pay the bills.” Can you relate to any of her statements?

I asked her, “What would financial security would look like for you?” She answered by saying, “Financial ease is what I really want.” “It would be a months of expensive in the saving account, to pay off all my credit cards every month and be debt free.”

Is that really too much to ask for? To have money in your savings account and be debt free. What would financial security look like for you? What do you want? Is it the same as this woman or is it something else?

For me, I like money in the bank and debt free, but I also would like to travel and see Paris. I would love to go back to Greece. I want to take a river boat cruise down the Rhine River and see the castles in Europe. I would love to teach a workshop in Australia, Bulgaria, and Switzerland.  To me, financial ease is freedom to do what I want, when I want. What is financial ease for you?

The next situation I was with a group of women at a friend’s home. It was art night and you were to bring the project you were working on. Some of the women brought a paintings or drawing they were working on, some brought a craft project and one woman even brought a chest to refinish. It was a mixture of women from art class, church, daughter’s friends, and longtime friends.

I chatted with many of the women and started listening to what they were talking about as I did my art project. What I noticed was there’s a group consciousness running through the group. I heard a few times how the government or big corporations were greedy. How the sister did such and such, because she was greedy. Somebody had such and such disease and the hospital was greedy. It was so expensive to have the surgery. Things keep going up. Have you noticed prices, they are skyrocketing.

This group had two common beliefs running and they probably were not even aware of them. The two beliefs were greedy and everything was expensive. They were coming from lack.

I invite you to listen to your group of friends to see what the common belief are that runs through the group or even your co-works that you hang out with at break time. What are they always talking about? Is the conversation benefiting you or is it keeping you in lack?

It is interesting what you uncover, when you start to listen at a deeper level. Whatever you uncover is there for you to work on with your own beliefs. Ask yourself, “Is it still true for you today?” If not let it go and don’t put any energy on it. If it’s not yours, so don’t take it on. Practice reframing the belief and let go of any beliefs that don’t serve you.
