UNDERSTANDING YOUR MONEY MINDSET: EXPLORING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEYBY HENRIETTA MITCHELL & OLIVIA WILSON08LET'S TALK ABOUT FINANCE BASICS FOR YOUNG WOMENWWW.REALLYGREATSITE.COM
How to figure out how your upbringing may have shaped your financial attitudeConsider the role models in your life: Identify the people in your life who influenced your financial beliefs and behaviours. Was it your parents, grandparents, or other relatives? What attitudes did they have towards money, and how did they handle financial decisions?Identify your current habits: Take a closer look at your current financial habits and attitudes towards money. Are there patterns or beliefs that you've carried over from your upbringing? Are there any financial behaviours you'd like to change?Reflect on your childhood experiences: Think back to your earliest memories of money and how it was talked about in your household. Did your parents discuss financial matters openly, or was it considered a taboo topic? Did your family prioritise saving or spending?Examine your education: Evaluate what you learned about money in school, and how this may have impacted your financial beliefs. Did you receive formal education on financial literacy or did you have to learn through experience? Did you have access to financial resources, such as books or seminars?Analyse your family's financial situation: Look at your family's financial situation growing up. Did you experience financial hardships or abundance? How did your family cope with these situations? Did they have a budget or financial plan?Try to seek out outside perspectives: Talk to other people, such as friends and relatives about their own experiences with money and compare them to your own. You can also seek some professional guidance or counselling if you need help addressing any negative beliefs or behaviours you've identified.BY HENRIETTA MITCHELL & OLIVIA WILSON09LET'S TALK ABOUT FINANCE BASICS FOR YOUNG WOMENCHAPTER IIIWWW.REALLYGREATSITE.COM
