The Money Stories We Learn in Childhood and Impact Adulthood
You lived in a household with money for luxuries but not always for food or necessities so you are super strict about sticking to your budget. Spending money on unexpected expenses creates massive amounts of stress. Buying a few luxuries seems frivolous and irresponsible.
You work hard and make a decent income but fear of “doing without” holds you back. There is no amount of money that feels like enough to truly give you peace.
Or maybe you grew up with unlimited spending and thought that was the way everyone lived. You have a good job but you often can’t make ends meet. The things you spend money on seem perfectly reasonable but you experience limitations due to needing to pay bills and expenses.
From an early age, we begin absorbing messages about money—whether we realize it or not. These “money stories” are formed through what we see, hear, and experience in our families and environments. Some of these stories can be empowering, while others can hold us back in significant ways.

Many of us inherit limiting or negative money stories, often unconsciously, from our parents or surroundings. You might have been exposed to:
- A scarcity mindset, where money was always seen as limited or hard to come by
- Anxiety or shame about spending, saving, or even talking about money
- Beliefs that money causes conflict, stress, or unhappiness
- Fear of success, believing wealth or financial stability might change who you are or how people see you
- Avoidance of financial planning or investing, feeling overwhelmed or undeserving of wealth.
- Even in successful careers, you find it difficult to ask for raises, set appropriate fees, or feel confident in their financial worth.
These stories can leave deep emotional imprints, leading to patterns like overspending, under-earning, or self-sabotaging your financial success. Even if you’ve worked hard to achieve financial goals, those old money stories can prevent you from truly feeling secure or at peace with money.
These patterns often stem from deeper emotional roots tied to fear, guilt, shame, or unworthiness. Without realizing it, your past beliefs about money can create invisible barriers that limit your financial growth and freedom.
