REWRITING MONEY AVOIDANCE SCRIPTS

Never spend your money before you have it. 

Thomas Jefferson 

The rich rule over the poor,
    and the borrower is the slave of the lender. 

Proverbs 22:7 NRSV 

POSITIVE MONEY LESSONS 

Rewriting money avoidance scripts is possible to do. Money avoiders believe that money is bad, mainly due to painful events and negative emotions. Different people come from different family backgrounds, histories, and experiences. Traumatic or difficult memories or past circumstances can be subconsciously ingrained into a person’s money psychology. There is hope. The mind is not a fixed object. It can be molded and remolded. 

To change a money-avoidance script, one needs to gradually see the value that money has, so they can then develop positive emotional reactions towards finances. It requires a person to be financially informed. With the right knowledge, any assumptions and negative beliefs can be quenched.
