You\u2019d love to be good with money and be less stressed, but it feels too far out of reach. I\u2019m going to go out on a limb here and say that you\u2019re probably much closer than you think. These signs may seem trivial, but they are real indicators that you\u2019re on the right path.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7 signs that you’re THISCLOSE to being good with money:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You open the mail<\/div>\n
I\u2019m not kidding. If you open the mail and look at the documents inside the envelope (or inbox), it means that you\u2019re willing to see the truth of your financial situation, even if it isn\u2019t pretty. You dare to look at your bank statements and credit card bills when others never let them see the light of day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You\u2019ve disputed a charge on your credit card<\/div>\n
This means that you look through your credit card statement to see that the charges look familiar. When something looks fishy, you pick up the phone and get to the bottom of it. You are an advocate for your hard-earned money.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You\u2019ve stopped saying \u201cI can\u2019t afford that\u201d<\/div>\n
No phrase in the English language has likely been uttered more often, but it\u2019s not coming from you, at least not anymore. Somewhere along the way you became conscious of the power of your words and thoughts, and sensed that you could be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by speaking this way.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You feel comfortable talking about money with at least one person<\/div>\n
Most of us were taught that talking about money was wrong, and many of us carry shame about our finances.\u00a0But if you have been able to break out of that conditioning and can share your financial thoughts, feelings, and goals with even one person (even if it’s a person you\u2019re married to) then you\u2019re headed in the right direction.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You really want to know where all your money has gone<\/div>\n
Plenty of us wonder \u201cwhere the heck did all my money go?!\u201d You\u2019ve tried to figure out the answer. Tracking your expenses can be complicated these days with so many different payment methods, so it\u2019s understandable if you were unable to solve the mystery. The important thing is that you genuinely want to know.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You have a savings account<\/div>\n
Doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s much or any thing in there, and you’d like to know how to put more money in it, but for now, at least you have one.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You don\u2019t believe that people with money are all greedy, selfish, or otherwise bad<\/div>\n
You understand that money is neutral; it\u2019s energy, a form of exchanging value, there\u2019s nothing inherently evil about money. People can exhibit greedy or selfish behavior in the name of money, but money itself isn\u2019t the bad guy.<\/div>\n
