money emotions
You’ve probably had all kinds of feelings about money.
You also have habits and attitudes that have been shaped by your family.
A girl whose parents talk with ease about family finances will think
differently about money than a girl whose parents worry or argue when
the bills arrive. A girl who’s grown up shopping the sales with her mom
will likely have different spending habits than a girl who has only seen
her mom buy freely. A girl’s experiences may incline her to like or dislike
people with more money—or to like or dislike people with less.
All this means that your feelings about money may be complicated. But
the way you use money doesn’t have to be.

to go?
3.
How do you
