MONEY DISORDERS LEARNED FROM PARENTS

MONEY DISORDERS LEARNED FROM PARENTS

Money disorders are passed down from parents to their children. Money avoidance disorder will come as a result of how parents act around money. Klontz describes Harris, a person who developed money avoidance because of receiving mixed messages about money from his parents. According to Harris, his parents had mixed money messages ranging from “you should have exactly what you want” to “you cannot have what you want.” Eventually, Harris grew up with budgeting difficulties and innately disconnected himself from money, deeming it unimportant.  Whenever Harris had tension arising from money, his way out was through denial. He had a hard time facing up to his financial realities. 

When someone grows in a background of poverty, they may develop money worship disorder or money status disorder. In both cases, the person believes that they will earn respect if they have more money. In such cases, behaviors such as overspending and oversharing may develop. Also, hostile behaviors such as arrogance may come in if the person is not careful. This instance is where people tend to say that money changes a person. Other people believe that money reveals the true nature of a person. At times you find stories of people who grew wealthy and became unlikeable and unapproachable.
