I’m Make Six Figures, But I Still Worry About Money

Mostly through every matriculation, I am a wealthy person.

I have three cars and a house. I have an Emergency Fund, Retirement Fund and College Savings Fund for my son. There is no debt outside my mortgage. In addition to my husband’s income, I have a salary of six figures.

My Pure worth Keeps me in the category of “high earning, not yet rich.”

I don’t say this pride. This is a shameful confession. Despite being trapped in wealth, I do not feel wealthy.

Lack of money has been a permanent feature of my life.

My parents were not rich, and as a very sensitive child, I felt this fact deeply. I saw the bank over draft notices at the kitchen counter, listened to the battles about money, and felt the sound of frustration. Worrying about money became my default order.

This is not worried about the current state of the economy. According to the conference board, most US, 000 125,000 or more are concerned about the economy June users’ confidence index report.

I Consistent Think of money and I have enough. This is one of the last things I think about at night and in the morning I think about the first things.

Recently, I have been calculating the big costs that are in the future of my family-care for the car, family holidays-and thinking how long my husband’s 13-year-old car will last.

I suspect most of us, regardless of income, worry about money.

We entered the pulse through the Red Reddit Forums to see how the highest earners feel about the mentality. We used an AI tool to help analyze feedback. Here is what happened in the upper part of our analysis. People post anonymous, so we cannot confirm their individual experiences or situations.

On the basis of comments, many of the top earners, especially those who grow through limited sources, struggle with a shortage of shortages.

This money appears as excessive concern about the constant fear of losing wealth despite spending money, crime on purchases (even small) and high salaries. Some mentioned, 000 300,000-, 000 500,000 earned and saved enough.

The solution for me, then, should be psychological. I have to change my mindset about money.

My early experiences shaped my belief that the shortage of money is a cause for anxiety and conflict, and on the contrary, it will create a lot of peace.

A certified financial therapist and the founder of the Prosper Financial Welfare, Sami Mandelbam, called it my “mini -script” – which is a widespread conscious belief about the money that runs financial conduct.

According to Brad and Ted Clints, which prepared the term, but mini scripts are only partially true.

Mandelbam says many high earners are partially worried about the money due to poor mini script.

“People think, ‘When I make an X money, my life will be happy.’ “When the money doesn’t satisfy them, it is emphasized.”

I certainly have realized lies in my mini script. Many money does not bring peace. Yes, it buys me a stable lifestyle that comes with good care of home, reliable transport and health. But peace is another matter.

My mini -script – Author – by financial instability – made me a hyper vigilant about money.

“It is helpful to know what has happened after knowing your anxiety and what has happened after that, and what you would like to be, it is helpful to eliminate the difference between,” says Mandelbam.

On the reddate, many people suggested that finding the right balance between the future savings and the right balance between living is the key to overcoming the mentality of shortage.

Consumers recommend therapy, setting up a specific budget that includes crime -free costs, construction of large Emergency FundAnd the significance of the point of view – money is a means of expiry, not the purpose itself.

For me, I want to rewrite my mini script on it: I already have enough.

I have another confession. I like to worry about money.

Yes, I should worry less, but it is also true that the cautious focus I have paid to my financial matters, born of money problems, literally paid it.

The painful memories of not having enough money have encouraged me to be responsible for today’s money.

Because I worry about retirement, I started investing in one 401 (of) 21 Whenever I grow, I increase the contributions that work against an effective moderator Lifestyle crawling.

When I do my daily financial audit every morning, I look for evidence of fraud. When we received unauthorized allegations on our husband’s debit card a few years ago, we worked quickly and avoided any financial responsibility.

A friend of mine recently asked about my financial rituals, wondering if things could vary from one day to the other.

I replied, “I won’t know until I check.”

The thing is: No one cares about my money as I do, so it is my responsibility to manage, monitor and raise them. Worrying about money helps me make the best financial decisions for my family.

And if I have done my job properly, my son will never know the feeling of being enough. This would make me feel like the richest person in the world.
