Money and feelings

Money takes the blame for a lot of problems that are actually caused by feelings we all are most determined to avoid and least willing to acknowledge.

Money is simply the symbol that brings up the unresolved feelings. It’s possible that money has caused far more pain than you wish to feel again. I have taught courses about personal finance since when I was in secondry school. At the beginning of each course, people always are somewhat surprised when I start talking about
how money and feelings are so closely related. After a while, a different sort of surprise takes its place amazement that this association had not been discussed before.
