>> Back to September 2019<\/a><\/div>\n

Over 27 years of publishing, one of GreenMoney\u2019s main goals has been to bring our readers more clarity about their relationship with money as it informs so much of how we approach our daily lives on a variety of levels.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s those \u201clevels\u201d that we want to examine here. Assessing our relationships with money requires honest self-examination on a variety of money-related topics.<\/p>\n

Of course, many of us want lots more money, even while harboring negative attitudes about the people who have it. We tell ourselves that if blessed with a jackpot, we would doubtlessly do better things with it. Both saints and sinners among us feel entitled<\/em> to money. We\u2019re just waiting to prove it when our ship comes in.<\/p>\n

Then there are the \u201cP\u201d words – Politics and Power \u2013 and the season of election we are in. \u201cGive us your Money!!\u201d our mailboxes scream \u2013 though personally I have a hard time donating money to candidates with more capital than I have. But still, I give, because my financial support for any candidate, or lack thereof, speaks volumes about who I am and what I believe.<\/p>\n

Do you race against others for money? Do you hoard it, as if there were never enough \u2013 and by the way, what is your definition of enough<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Do you squirrel it away, save it, or invest it? Do you have a rainy-day fund or a budget? I often ask myself how much do I spend today and how much do I save for tomorrow? Oh financial security, \u2014 ever elusive!
