The Things We Do for Money

Think about all the things you do every day that relate to money. You perform work in exchange for it. (Can you honestly say you’d do what you do for work if you didn’t get paid for it?) You use money to pay your bills so you have things like electricity, water, food, clothing, and shelter to help you survive. Even worrying about money means you’re thinking about money!

Yet how many of us ever admit—even to ourselves—how much time we spend thinking about and trying to make more money?

In fact, just reading those last few paragraphs may have made you feel uncomfortable. But why? I believe much of our discomfort in talking about this subject relates to the words we use in relation to it.

Have you ever noticed that there is not one positive word in the English language to describe a person who loves money? Even the phrase “a person who loves money” feels like a negative description, doesn’t it?

We think of words like miser, hoarder, selfish, and greedy when describing someone who loves money. Remember Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol? No one would want to be like him, right?

Our money problems do not occur because we love money; they occur when we put money before people.

For example, I got this e-mail from Susan, a television producer from California:

Dear Noah,

I have been in the entertainment industry (primarily television), as well as a student of spiritual studies, for my entire adult life. However, after a landslide destroyed our home seven years ago, I felt pulled to study coaching and schools of success philosophies, investing tens of thousands of dollars.

I devoted all my energies and funds into starting a new venture that would give me more time to work with people. Much to my dismay, by the time I heard you speak, I was failing financially. I had burned through all my savings, had no income, and was avoiding phone calls from creditors. Fortunately, my husband was willing to buy the groceries and put gasoline into the car so I could stay in any kind of activity. I was physically stuck.

It was only because your story resonated so much with me that I was willing to spend the nominal sum to purchase your Afformations System home-study program. I listened to it right away, struck by the shift of philosophy. I noted
