Why is there so much weight in money attachments? Money Attachment is a topic that we talk too much about and also not nearly enough about. This is a topic that comes with a WIDE range of perspectives from “There is never enough.” To “They have too much.”
What we’re really talking about when we say Money Attachments
The truth is what we’re really talking about when we discuss money are things like Value, Fulfillment, Worthiness, and Importance.
In the typical day to day we trade time for money, Things like effort and labor (time and physical or mental energy) or skills and knowledge (the time to learn and hone the skill) add to our value and perceived worthiness. And yet, the average American works 34 hours a week, and makes an average of $59,384 per year. ($33.59 an hour.)
That… All of what you just said to yourself is true.
How do I know what you said? Well – I don’t. But I know that your perceptions are as much of your reality and as valid as whatever I thought or whatever your friend will think when you click the share button and share this with them.
Some of my readers may have thought things like “I don’t make that,” or “Who makes that?!” Some of you entrepreneurs may have thought, “I’m really glad I’ve raised my rates recently,” or “I should lower my rates so more can afford my product or services.” Some of you may have thought “Then why does it seem like everyone is struggling?” and yet others may have wondered about where the data came from and whether that number includes billionaires or those who aren’t working.
None of this matters though, because it is all in your perception.
What I mean by that is that what we believe about Money – whether it’s a lot or a little, whether it comes or goes, whether you want it or you don’t, whether it’s good or evil and whether theres an infinite amount or a small amount controlled by a small group – Your beliefs are the core of your perception.
Money – whether it’s the US Dollar, the Euro, the Pound, the Yin, the Peso, or the Mauritanian Rupee… It’s all an illusion.
Money was created to signify or symbolize value. Originally money was backed by things like Gold – which was originally a currency – you could trade gold. Older civilizations collected and traded things like shells, spices, fabrics, and grains… now we trade numbers.
When is the last time you touched a physical representation of Money?
For a while there we weren’t even sure if Cash would continue to be circulated in the US. Our currency is mostly digital now, which means we are truly trading numbers. If you go to work, your employer most likely direct deposits your pay checks into your bank, which means they move numbers from one financial column to another and then the bank does the same thing. And then if you use the money in your bank account via check, credit card, debit, etc. You move the numbers from one account to another account – That’s all.. That’s all it is.
But we are attached to money in so many ways
It can sometimes feel like money is life in the US can’t it?
You need money to eat, drink clean water, provide shelter, clothing, transportation, hell in some situations you need money to make money, and you need a lot of money to get adequate health and dental care to literally stay alive… So these numbers control so much of what we think and do every single day.
