Money is MORE psychological than what I thought

[Juan]

  It might be obvious to some people but for me not that much. For a long time I guess I had like a “hippie” belief that not having money doesn’t affect me emotionally but it actually does. I’m almost a month into my new job and I’m observing how much having or not money influence my mood, if I get worry of being capable for pay my rent, see if I’m capable to buy for my basic needs, help others, etc. Is more like a sense of freedom.

  My goal with the new job is just earn enough money so I can re-invest on myself, get a new laptop to start learning 3D art, continue my tattoo career and other needed materials. Maybe some of you can relate, I won’t even hit on anyone through the next year just so I can just focus on make money, heal some personal stuff and work on my LP.

Money is distilled survival.

[Princess Arabia]

That's because it's not the money, perse, that people want nor is it even the material things it buys, people are after a feeling. Feelings of security, freedom, worthiness, peace etc. If we can just learn to generate those feelings on our own without obtaining the material things first, and sustain those feelings long enough, money will flock to us like flies on shit. That's why the rich gets richer and the poor stays poor. 

It's not easy to do because we're used to waiting until we get the things we desire first then feelings come after but it's really the other way around where we can sustain the flow of abundance. The feelings is the secret. That's why it's psychological. If you hate money, money will not come to you easily and if you think money is the root of all evil you will not sustain it. It's energetic.

Anyone who does not understand this, doesn't understand how the Universe works. It's mental. Everything starts with a thought. This is why I try to stress less complaining and more gratitude because whatever you focus on you get more of. Focus on lack, more lack and vice versa. This is why people with addictions usually don't have a problem getting their addictions met no matter how poor because that's what they are focused on. 

The Universe is on our side it's just we're sending the wrong message with our feelings.

Money is just a tool, like an axe, you can use it for good or evil.

Money is energy in a very specific aggregation state. It has something very archaic to it.

[gettoefl]

when you have money it means nothing when you don't it means everything

luckily i always had it not because i am rich or a top earner, actually pretty poor throug the world's eyes but i am savvy and resourceful and content with what i get and therefore extremely rich

vibes are many, vices are few

Personal development 101. Many of the normies around me lead happy lives just through being raised with a positive attitude. If you have that, it's all you really need. With that anything can be achieved. Mindset is everything. Too many stage greens are stuck in this "world is evil, capitalists are awful, so many injustices" victim mindset that sabotages their true potential. Nature is amoral. Evolution is amoral. True power comes from embracing the hardship and pushing forward in spite of it. Even if the world, life, evolution, are objectively not "fair" (which they clearly aren't) it doesn't do any good to dwell on it and get into a negative thought/emotion loop over it.

Money becomes crucial when what you believe is your materialistic survival needs don't get fulfilled easily. The key is not to demonise money but to draw the line between needs and wants, based on your present desires and lifestyle, and gradually reduce the importance of money as you cross the line of needs and move deep into your wants.

My tip would be to note down what you think as your needs and wants, and once the needs are fulfilled, notice how your mind tries to convert your wants to needs. There is nothing wrong in doing so, but make sure you are aware of it and protect yourself from falling into an  endless chase.
