why do I have anxiety when it come's to money?

[tulip]

I have anxiety about money, too. My anxiety manifests itself differently, though. I AVOID my bank account. I hate paying bills. I have enough (although this past year has been tough with the divorce), but I just want to ignore it.

I grew up poor, so maybe that's my problem. I don't know. Money's wierd.

My parents were very irresponsible and sometimes thing like the electricity would be shut off or the phone. Mainly cause they would forget to pay the bill or they might unfortunately spend the money. I don't know maybe that has something to with my problems.

This is where you answer your own question.
I'm sure that's what it is.

I love this book: Women and Money, by Suze Orman

Got my share of money issues, too, and this book has been a huge help.

I'll join you in the anxiety boat. I was on anther forum where they were talking about all the bike parts they're planning to buy when this government money comes to stimulate the economy. Me? I'm thinking of how half will go to the car loan and then some to insurance and savings. Ack! I should get at least one cool bike part!

Suze Orman is a great author and Jean Chatsky (sp?) also deals with the women and money issue. This is definitely a common concern. Jean talks about how women's brains are wired differently (our feelings of fear and pleasure are triggered differently). Interesting stuff.

Yes you should treat yourself a little. We will treat ourselves to dinner at our favorite sushi place.

That book has been on my list for a while. Thanks for the reminder.
