“Your experience of life is primarily affected by the perspective you view it from.” – Paul McKenna
Changing your perspective of money from a negative to a positive one can have a profound effect on your finances.
If you think you never have money but don’t change anything then you will never see yourself as having enough money. If you turn your nose up at saving regularly or cutting back on your expenses by shopping somewhere cheaper then you will never have any money.
Instead of thinking that shopping at bargain shops like the 99p shop or Wilkinson’s is only something poor people do, try it out. Wilkinson’s offers a similar range of toiletries (quite often identical brands) that Boots offers but at up to half the cost. The quality of the product hasn’t changed but the amount in your wallet has.
If you think you never have money but take steps to assess your spending and saving habits you will help to eliminate that negative perspective. Now your energy can be focused on actions rather than complaints.
In the wise words of JD Roth at Get Rich Slowly, “Money is more about mind than math.” If you don’t change your perspective of money and more importantly your money then how do you expect things to change?
Personal finance management doesn’t have to be boring or a way of shouting ‘I’m poor’. It can be a fun challenge and teach you a lot about your relationship with money.
Having a positive perspective takes practice. If you try to view everything from a positive perspective you can make the best of any situation. There’s no time like now for changing so try thinking positively today.
