Featured in 9Honey, Jess goes back to the basics by stressing the importance of exploring your ‘money story’.
“Your ‘money story’ is your thoughts and beliefs around money. Often it can be what you did or didn’t see growing up. Generally, our money story has a lot to do with our parents or how people around us have behaved about money.”
To get started, Jess suggests asking yourself these key questions:
- What do you think about money?
- Do you love it? Or do you hate it?
- If your reaction is a negative one, try and think of money more as an opportunity so you can start to feel good about it
