When you were a child, were you told negative beliefs about money? How did you overcome that belief system?
I find this an interesting question. I think people have beliefs around money and that belief system can dictate your financial situation. If you were told that having money makes you spoiled then perhaps you put a mental / emotional block on making money as an adult ...if you were told money doesn't grow on trees then perhaps you have anxiety around money and obsess about financial security.
I am looking for answers stating what your beliefs are around money...how that ties into your belief in yourSELF and what you did to overcome any negative or limiting views around money, financial success/loss/security.
Thank you for your honesty. All your answers are appreciated with the greatest of respect.

while you pay more for the same product means that more people get a cut of the wealth that you put into buying that product. unfortunately this is not always the case.
the love of money often ends up in a situation of instant-demand, and this is not how the 1%'s got to where they are. ie. a false perception in a lot of cases. in the cases where it were at one stage to be a love of money, the sitatuion is often reversed, in the sense of doing more for their community while keeping level playing fields across different communities, to ensure innovation occurs.
innovation often occurs out of necessity more often than not. but not knowing what the necessitiy is, is where problems can occur.
although patching a problem with money seems to work sometimes, it's not only money that fixes a problem, but, if i were to steal a quote from apple - "Think different." this enables to think on all stages of the spectrum, from the local supermarket for food to where it goes in the long run.
Steve Jobs was genius in his deal with China to build so many iPhones. He saw the necessity for Chinese workers to have jobs (better than no jobs at all, i would think!) and make progress for China _and_ Apple Corp. Although this is debatable.
myself, i'm not interested in becoming richer than what work I have put into it, along with the responsibility that i think i can manage. i have only recently adopted this attitude, which makes me think different about the money i spend, and what i save.
i've heard a dollar a day saved will make you a millionare in 10 years, as long as you let the interest grow.

A dollar a day saved...10 years...hmmm...I'll keep you posted as to whether that is true :)
I believe money offers security in the sense of feeling safe knowing that you won't be thrown out of your home because you can't afford it, or you can feed / clothe your children as needed but I also know some very unhappy people who have a lot of money...
So, money perhaps enhances life but doesn't give you the core elements that enrich your life...I'd rather have a 100 people by my side when I am about to leave this earth than a 100 dollars :)
Hope you have a wonderful day!
With a smile,
Tina
