What do you want from your money?

WHAT DO YOU want from your money?

College tuition for your kids?

A bigger house and a new car? Security when you retire?
Wouldn’t it be great simply to have enough money so you don’t have to worry?

The “enough money” part of that equation is easy. The “so you don’t have to worry” part is much more complex. It actually has nothing to do with how much money you have or how little. You can balance your checkbook until you’re blue in the face, you can move money every day between your mutual funds, you can double your life insurance, you can buy lottery tickets—and none of it will do you any good until you get beyond the worry and fear. The fear of money, the fear of not having enough, the fear of having
enough, the fear of taking action, the fear of inaction. There isn’t a part of our lives that money doesn’t touch—it affects our relationships, the way we go about our everyday
activities, our ability to make dreams reality, everything. Most of us, I think, have a core of anxiety that we carry around with us, though we may not admit it to ourselves. That is part of money’s power over us.
From years as a financial planner I have learned that true financial freedom doesn’t depend on how much money you have. Financial freedom is when you have power over your fears and anxieties instead of the other way around. That’s why,  address first the fears, then the finances.
Whatever their circumstances—in debt, working, downsized, afraid of becoming downsized, retired, having just inherited money, having just lost money—my clients invariably arrive with a handful of financial papers and a heart full of anxieties. Like most certified financial planners, I started my practice to help other people with their money, but as time went on, I realized that it was far more than their money (or
lack of it) that needed attention. Today new clients arrive expecting me to ask to see their papers. Instead I ask them first to share their fears. It’s never too soon to begin, and it’s never too late, no matter how the bottom-line numbers read today on your particular handful of financial papers. This book presents a nine-step process that will take you back into the past, when your attitudes about money were born and began to grow. It will help you face the present honestly and clear the way for you to create a future you will love.
I know it works. As you read this book you will meet others who have taken the steps toward financial freedom—and finally made possible the lives they dreamed about.
You will also see that if I could do it against all odds, so can you. When I was very young I had already learned that the reason my parents seemed so unhappy wasn’t that they didn’t love each other; it was that they never had quite enough money even to pay the bills. In our house money meant tension, worry, and sorrow. When I was about thirteen my dad owned his own business, a tiny chicken shack where he sold take-out chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries. One day the oil that the chicken was fried in caught fire. In a few minutes the whole place exploded in flames. My dad bolted from the store before the flames could engulf him. This was when my mom and I happened to arrive on the scene, and we all stood outside watching the fire burn away my dad’s business.
All of a sudden my dad realized that he had left his money in the metal cash register inside the building, and I watched in disbelief as he ran back into the inferno, in the split second before anyone could stop him. He tried and tried to open the metal register, but the intense heat had already sealed the drawer shut. Knowing that every penny he had was locked in front of him, about to go up into flames, he literally picked up the scalding metal box and carried it outside. When he threw the register on the ground, the skin on his arms and chest came with it.
He had escaped the fire safely once, untouched. Then he voluntarily risked his life and was severely injured. The money was that important. That was when I learned that money is obviously more important than life itself.
From that point on, earning money, lots of money, not only became what drove me professionally, but also became my emotional priority. Money became, for me, not the means to a life rich in all kinds of ways; money became my singular goal.
Years later this kid from the South Side of Chicago was a broker with a huge investment firm. I was rich, richer than I could have imagined. And I realized I was profoundly unhappy; the money hadn’t bought or brought me happiness. So if money wasn’t the key to happiness, what was? It was then that I began
a quest, which has taken me deep into the meaning of life—and the meaning of money.
I don’t know if I have discovered the meaning of life, but I have learned a great deal about what money can and cannot do. And it can do a lot. Your money will work for you, and you will always have enough—more than enough—when you give it energy, time, and understanding. I have come to think that money is very much like a person, and it will respond when you treat it as you would a cherished friend—never fearing it, pushing it away, pretending it doesn’t exist, or turning away from its needs, never clutching it so hard that it hurts. Sometimes it’s fatter, sometimes it’s skinnier, sometimes it doesn’t feel so good and needs special nurturing. But if you tend it like the living entity it is, then it will flourish, grow, take care of you for as long as you need it, and look after the loved ones you leave behind.
Most of us already know at least some of the steps we could take to free ourselves from money anxieties—we could manage our debt better, arrange for our children’s education, strategically plan now for later, protect what we’ve saved, save more. Yet most of us are paralyzed, too, when it comes to actually taking these steps, however wise they seem, however much we think we really want to take control.
What good will it do you to know what you should do, if you can’t do it?

A financial planner for the same reason that brings many people—she didn’t want to deal with her money. Her earliest memories about money helped explain why. She had learned that what money buys is nothing compared to what it takes away.
It would have been the very end of first grade. My father said, “How would you like to go live on the Great Lakes?” I didn’t even know what great lakes meant, but I said no, I wanted to stay in Virginia, where we were. He said too bad, we’re moving anyway, but that it would be great because we’d have more money. The moving truck came and that was that. All my friends were waving from the driveway, and I remember just sobbing and sobbing as we drove away. My father kept getting promoted, so we had to move every year, sometimes twice a yearand the reason was always more money. It was so hard in the new schools. My clothes were never right, and kids would laugh at my accent, whatever it was that year. The teachers would teach the subjects in all different ways—old math in one school, new math in another. Plus I had to make new friends each time; by the time I’d made them, it was time to go. It was hard on my mom, too. By about the tenth move, she stopped unpacking half the dishes—what was the point?
They’d just have to be packed up again.
Most of us leave a cluttered paper trail marking where our money went behind us, but she was unlike any other client I’d ever had. She had no debt. She rented a furnished house: no mortgage. She leased her car. She had no savings, no investments. Divorced, with one son, she had come to see me about putting aside money for his education. I saw a woman alone with no money for emergencies, or tomorrow. I could have said to her, “Now, she, see here, you are forty-three years old and you really must start investing for the future.” But clearly she knew that, and clearly knowing it made no difference at all to her, at least on the level that inspires us to take action. She was still living as if she might have to move the next day—no commitments, no ties, no furniture, no complications to undo if she suddenly had to pull up stakes. She had turned her childhood message around and had come to believe instead that to keep away from pain, you keep away from money.
