Do your finances cause tension in your relationship? Many relationships face intense stress and anxiety over money issues. It seems that love and money have an important connection with couples. Perhaps your current relationship is feeling the impact of this connection now. How would you rate your relationship on a 1-10 love and money scale, where one is how loving and passionate your connection is and ten is the degree to which you have mastered your money concerns?

I have often struggled with ideas that can communicate the power of a single thought. Our brains have been labeled as the 3 lb. universe and in many ways this is totally appropriate.

Financial success or failure is often the results of attitudes, both conscious and unconscious, that affect our behavior. No amount of budgeting and self-control can help us when we’re up against ingrained ideas about money management, spending, and debt. If you’re having a tough time shifting your financial behavior, maybe it’s time to change your mind about money. Here are six common attitudes that work against us financially. 1.

The word wealth brings into the mind thoughts about riches in the form of plenty of money, the ability to buy and enjoy everything your heart desires.
