A very interesting experience is to simultaneously feel shame over making money (i.e. having thoughts such as “I get paid way too much.”) and also have animosity toward people who make a lot of money (i.e. having thoughts such as “that person must be an arrogant, selfish jerk.”) So it’s a confusing internal dynamic that I’m wrestling with right now as I work to change my relationship with money, but I am certainly trying very hard to do so. I’m realizing that I can’t let go of shame over having money myself without discontinuing my hate of others who make money, and vice versa. Both changes in paradigm have to happen at the same time.
We are constantly bombarded by messages of “you don’t need money to be happy.” I would like to call BS on that statement. I think there have been some recent studies that have shown that happiness does increase with an increase in income (up to a certain point, but of course that makes sense – by the time you get to the point where you have money you are not utilizing (after you have sufficient savings), additional money isn’t going to make you feel safer). But, like many people, I know what it’s like to live without enough income and it’s extremely unpleasant and stressful. Not only that, but having extra money for “spending” allows us to invest in what we think is valuable. For me, that’s personal growth, healing work, taking care of my body, etc – like many people in this community. Without those things, I would feel utterly lost.
It’s such a strange push-pull dynamic. We want money and we don’t. Feel desire for it yet also shame over it. We admire people who are successful yet demonize them when they make “too much”. I’m glad you made this podcast as I think that we all struggle with it to varying degrees. Awareness is the first step, now we just have to work on changing our perspectives one step at a time ;)
