Why You Need To Get Rid Of Your Money Baggage

Have you been hauling around baggage since childhood of your parent’s perception of money? It’s time to let it go and take on a more sophisticated outlook. Joining us on The Art of Passive Income is Dr. Brad Klontz—a financial psychologist who helps raise public awareness around issues related to financial health and financial psychology. He is the Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and an Associate Professor of Practice in Financial Psychology at Creighton University Heider College of Business. He is a Managing Principal of Your Mental Wealth Advisors, a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and a Former President of the Hawaii Psychological Association. Dr. Klontz was awarded the Innovative Practice Presidential Citation from the American Psychological Association for his application of psychological interventions to help people with money and wealth issues and his innovative practice in financial psychology for practitioners across the country. Raised on the belief that you shouldn’t take on much debt, Dr. Klontz had a difficult time psychologically when he found himself deep in student debt after getting his doctorate degree. That, ultimately, put him on the path to Mental Wealth. Today, Dr. Klontz is going to talk to us about money scripts—a subconscious belief that we have about money and the four categories they fall into: Money Avoidance—having a tendency to self-sabotage when you start to have a successful business or come into money like a lottery win. Money Worship Belief—the belief that more money is going to make you happier and it’s going to solve all of your problems. Money Status—is all about keeping up with the Joneses. Money Vigilance—usually associated with having more money, these people believe it’s important to save for a rainy day. Dr. Klontz also helps Mark & Scott with their own money baggage and sets them on the path to Mental Wealth! TIP OF THE WEEK Mark: Learn more about Dr. Brad Klontz at YourMentalWealth.com.
