{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Money and Identity: The Reality, for Better or Worse","description":"Why does having money make us feel good, and not having it make us feel so damn bad?\n\nMoney isn't simply numbers in an account. It represents security, autonomy, options, progress, and, whether we like admitting it or not, status.\n\nThat's where things can get dangerous.\n\n\"I don't have enough money\" can become \"I'm bad with money.\" And eventually, \"People like me don't become wealthy.\"\n\nThis episode explores the complicated relationship between money, identity, status, anxiety, and self-worth, and why becoming a Wealth Builder needs to start long before you actually become wealthy.\n\nYou don't need the outcome to adopt the identity.\n\nYou need a direction.\n\nDon't wait until you're wealthy to become a Wealth Builder. Become a Wealth Builder so you can become wealthy.\n\nYou have to be doing while you're becoming.\n\nWant to talk with a professional about where you are and where you want to go with your finances?
