Seven toxic financial beliefs

Seven toxic financial beliefs

1. You shall not talk  about money

One of the most common financial toxic beliefs is to avoid any talk about money. If you have been taught that money is not talked about in your family, you treat this topic as taboo. Perhaps, in spite of this, you say: “there is nothing to talk about at all – most of my friends are in debt and live.” Or do you accept opinions such as “the most important thing is to have for the basic needs” or “it is just important to be healthy and have a job” – as revealed truth?

You forget that what is here and now does not have to be the same in 3, 5 or 10 years. Health and permanent work are very changeable things, and nothing is more certain in life than uncertainty.

2. You shall not treat your debt seriously

Another toxic belief is downplaying the topic of debt. If you say, “I can’t afford investment now,” doesn’t that mean it’s not important to you? And yet your current situation is the RESULT of just thinking in the PAST. If you think you can’t afford investment now, when will you be able to afford it? Will you become more indebted? Believe that you can always afford to invest, focus only on the question of how and in what you will invest.

3. Taking a loan is having more

A third toxic financial belief is a lack of understanding that bad debt is really a major obstacle on your path to independence. If you say, “How come? I take a loan and thanks to that I have more and more, “I have to agree with you, but with one slight difference – you have more and more … things to pay back. Often, indebtedness is the result of a lack of any planning or high-spending decisions on impulse.
You probably know the opinion that the first million should be stolen anyway. And you consider yourself honest. Well, you’ll probably never get a million because you don’t want to steal. This means that you stay at the current financial level. Don’t take it literally, just change your thinking.

4. Demanding attitude

The fourth toxic financial belief is the demanding attitude. If you think your employer doesn’t pay you enough, that politicians rob you, that the state must pay you a high pension and take care of you when you can’t work anymore – you are impoverishing yourself. Money is a form of energy. Energy must circulate, and a claim attitude blocks your ability to get more and more. Shifting responsibility for your finances to others – the state, employer, and politicians – also blocks the energy flow. Only taking full responsibility for your finances without looking at those who “have to provide you with something” will give you the opportunity to really multiply your money.

5. It is good to improvise

The fifth toxic financial belief is the lack of financial planning. If you are self-employed or run a small business and you think that you have no way of planning an investment because you have to re-invest all funds in your own business. It will certainly be difficult for you to understand that your business is not you yourself, that your private money and the money, which you invest in your own business are two completely different things.

Perhaps you are no longer the owner of your own business, but your business now owns you? You give your money, which you invest entirely in the company, to the Tax Office, bailiff, and creditors. Of course you can live without planning and without a plan, however this is also a plan. It leads to the fact that in the least expected moment you put both your leg yourself. Because I will try to convince you to plan what you want to achieve in a year, three or five years, you will probably be offended, saying: “Well, how am I supposed to know what will be next year?” Well, out of nowhere, it can’t be predicted. The plan is not intended to predict the future or set the direction in which you want to go.

6. I won’t find time for this

6. The sixth toxic financial belief is that the lack of time does not allow you to deal with your finances. Meanwhile, time is one of your most important assets. Moment by moment, minute by minute, hour by hour, and you can’t use all that time anyway. It seems to you that life time is close to infinity, unfortunately you forget that you only have a certain number of hours, days and years to survive. You can’t stretch time, you can’t accumulate, you can’t save. The only thing you can do is to make the most of this time. If you think that you don’t have time to deal with your finances, you probably use fancy tricks: “I want to think about this decision, I should discuss it with my partner, I would like to compare offers”. In fact, your own mind, which doesn’t like to make uncertain decisions very much, tries to postpone it. Unfortunately, this “later” never comes, and your mind quickly forgets important issues, busy with many urgent matters.

7. It’s not my cup of tea

The seventh toxic financial belief is acceptance of a lack of financial knowledge. You use such tactics by saying:
“I already have my own financial advisor, I have a friend in the bank, my work friend advises me.” Claiming that finance is complex and completely useless knowledge is just a convenient excuse not to take responsibility for it. In the meantime, you just need to use a few simple tools shown in this book to change your approach to your finances radically. Now take something to write, sit back and write down what they are:
