- I've had a lot of anxiety around money ever since I finished grad school.
- I talked about my financial worries with a financial therapist, and I got lots of practical advice.
- She gave me some useful statements to remind myself of when considering purchases.
Like many Americans, I have a complicated relationship with money. Although I'm very privileged to be financially secure today, growing up my family lived paycheck-to-paycheck. Our housing wasn't always secure, and we moved a lot, sometimes staying with relatives for long stretches of time.
