You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth

by Jen Sincero

Here are some other commonly held beliefs that are real winners, and that may sound familiar to you. Pick whichever ones sound like something you’d think or say and reframe them: You can’t be rich and spiritual. Money isn’t important, people are. Never go into debt. Save your money for a rainy day. Rich people are lucky, gross, selfish, entitled, snobby, shallow, egomaniacs, holier than thou. You have to work hard to make money. You can’t make money doing X (whatever you love to do). I’m too irresponsible, lazy, clueless to make money. It’s not polite to talk about money. It’s important to have a good, secure job. If you get excited by making money it means you’re shallow. Money doesn’t grow on trees. You must go to a good college to make money. Money causes stress. There’s never enough money. Money is trouble. I don’t want to be a sellout. You have to sacrifice having a good/fun life to make money. Money is out of my reach. You have champagne tastes on a beer pocketbook. Always have a backup plan. It’s lonely at the top. Who has that kind of money? He/she is only about the money.
