Five years ago, this is what my relationship with my finances looked like as a single mother:
I had one bank account, hoarding all of my money and too scared to break it up
I had no budget, spending frivolously after pay day and beating myself up for it by the end of the month
I had zero savings
I was pulling money out of my investments because I’d overspent
I was spending without ever holding myself accountable for it
I felt hopeless about my financial future and felt like I’d be broke forever
I was holding onto negative money beliefs that were forcing me to keep my head in the sand
Today, my relationship with money looks like:
A budget that I check in on every week
Multiple bank accounts to allocate my money to different expenses
An emergency fund comfortably covering a whole month’s expenses
A stable and growing investment fund
Increased earnings
Enough money for discretionary spending
Complete control and understanding of what goes out and what comes in
