Understanding How Money Influences your Mindset
What is a money mindset
Money mindset is a term that refers to your general attitude and ideas about money. Your feelings can be influenced by events or experiences.
Money has a powerful influence on our mindsets. Instead of just thinking about how money affects you, you should consider how money affects your decisions and behavior.
How money affects your decisions
The average consumer makes a decision based on factors such as emotion, ego, and logic when deciding to make a purchase or not.
According to an article by CNBC, more women are gaining power when it comes to money.
However, when it comes to saving for retirement or investments, it makes more sense for you to think about your financial risk tolerance.
Risks will always be different from person to person.
When deciding whether you want to save money, remember that uncertainty plays a role in your financial decisions.
Since you cannot predict what will happen tomorrow or in five years, you will have no idea how your spending habits will change over time.

“Wealth is largely the result of habit.” -John Jacob Astor
Building a positive money mindset and believing that your wealth goals are possible takes constant training. It is the result of habit and sacrifice.
Think of a skinny guy from the gym, he aspires to have a strong body like the famous bodybuilders he follows.
He realizes his goal is going to take time and planning. There will be days that he wants to quit. His inspiration is what keeps him focused. He diligently records all his changes.
He is growing and gaining strength. He realizes the hard work is paying off, and he perseveres and pushes through.
Changes are made from hard work and the habits you set from the beginning.
If you strive for wealth, you need a plan, and you must make it a habit to follow the plan to get the results.
Some days will be harder than others
My father always told us that wealth is not something that can be acquired overnight — it takes time to build it.
I always thought this made perfect sense.
Some days you will work hard and stay focused and others you will slack, maybe you face an emergency, and it sets you back.
Don’t let setbacks last forever, they only crush your plans.
If you don’t have money now, what can you do to make more? Design a plan that works for your current situation. Set specific goals, short term, midterm and long term and execute your plan.
A toxic money mindset can damage you

They fear money, thinking that having it “cheats” your life.
The truth is that money positively affects your financial well-being and health. It helps you reach your goals and live a happier life.
However, there are also downsides to having too much money.
You might become obsessed with your money, making your mental health suffer.
You can make money in different ways, such as through inheritance or buying a property.
Wealth can also be earned from investments, stocks, bitcoin, property, etc.
