Money Mantra of the Week: You have a healthy relationship with money.

This week we’ll dive into money beliefs without having to pay a money coach. Plus: Bitcoin Futures, Tips from Wealthfront CEO, Credit Scores and Cheaper Prescription Drugs.

⛏ How to uncover your money beliefs

When I was younger, I used to think people who ordered drinks and appetizers were wasteful. That’s because I didn’t grow up with a lot of money. My single mother would teach us about the merits of cooking at home and saving money. The rare time we’d go out, we’d skip the drinks and desserts.

For years, even when I had more disposable income, I felt guilty when my friends and I would go out to eat and order more than what my 12 year old self was used to.

These are money habits driven by money beliefs. When these beliefs go unchecked, we end up carrying financial baggage
