Money & Emotions

It's very common for someone who struggles with anxiety or depression or love, to also struggle financially. Those with money problems, often have marriage or ... you get the picture.

Scenario #1: "It makes me physically ill when I have to pay bills. I have bad checks because I don't keep a register or track very well what's in my account. I don't keep track because it makes me physically ill to look at it."

What happens when they run out of money, have to go to court or pay fees for the bad checks? You guessed it, "It makes me physically ill."

Scenario #2: "I've had a lot of people help me over the years. They've helped me fix my car, given me a place to live. I really want to give back to others like all those people who have helped me. 

In response to how to change the pattern of their life, "I don't like money. Money isn't important to me. It's just not a priority."

How will they ever be in a financial position to care for themselves or to help others if handling money doesn't become a priority?

As Mark Beeson brilliantly taught, (it's the last video under 'teaching'), the condition of the heart indicates how we'll handle money. Money & emotions are inextricably linked. Positively or negatively, they feed one another. Our goal is to have them feed one another positively, but so sadly, many keep feeding them negatively. 

I am always challenged of whether they'll get more help from Turning Point or Financial Peace Univeristy. They both lauch on February 22. Where they should start isn't important as starting!
