You are entering into a phase where money could rule your life if you let it. You will either be stashing your cash and wanting to keep it forever in a bank balance or panicking over lack of it and needing to tighten your belt. If you are comfortable financially and are wanting to save for a rainy day that is fine as long as you are not sacrificing your own happiness. It’s all well and good having a fat bank balance but if you are not enjoying it and forever wanting to make more this will lead to possible unhappiness and an unfulfilled life. Alternatively you could be struggling with money and need to approach this situation with a good budget plan and idealistically avoid overspending. Whatever the case may be happiness and love are far more important than material possessions. If you feel money is overwhelming you, you need to sit back and have a good think on what you can change to make for a happier you.

You are in a perpetual state at the moment of being money minded and not wanting to let go of any material possessions. At the end of the day it’s just ‘stuff’ and really doesn’t bring you happiness or love. So why is it that you feel you need to have the best car in the road and the nicest house? You may be putting yourself under too much pressure to attain material possessions. You could be working all hours and perpetually striving to get that overtime or cash bonus. That’s all well and good but how does your family feel when you are never at home? Try and re-programme your attitude to money and see if you can balance out emotional well being against material wealth. It’s great to have a pot available for rainy days and emergencies but if you already have that why strive to attain even more? Alternatively you could be feeling that you are not making enough money but are living beyond your means. You can feel the guilt hit you as you hand over your credit card and know that this needs to ease up a bit. Stop being a slave to this material way of life and find peace in the simpler things in life.

Sometimes when you have family around you they may pressure you to make more money. Sometimes we can be a victim of peer pressure or even society makes us believe that the more money and material assets we have, the more successful we appear. Lots of people can fall into this trap, be mindful to not be one of them. Material possessions are just ‘stuff’, they don’t keep us warm at night, make us happy or give us love. You are being reminded to not fall foul to outside pressures in having to make money, save it or invest it. Adopt a healthy view of money and material gain. It shouldn’t be the main focus of your life and you certainly shouldn’t feel pressured to make as much as you can. Yes we do need to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table but that is a necessity, luxury isn’t, unless you know you can afford it without burning yourself out in the process.

You hope to achieve a lot of success in your career as this will lead to making money that can help you buy all of the things that you want. There is nothing better than being able to deal with an unexpected bill or expense without panicking. You are hoping that you can achieve a comfortable living without having to struggle. The worst thing that you could do is burn yourself out in the pursuit of earning more money than you need. Your fear is not achieving that success and not being in a financial state where you can easily pay that bill or afford that extra holiday. Whatever scale you are aiming for in the money stakes, don’t let fear of the lack of money drive you to unhappiness and a need to work all hours. By sending out gratitude for what you already have, you will be telling the universe that you deserve abundance. This approach will attract unexpected cash boosts when you least expect it. Trust the universe!

You could be over doing it in the future and working yourself far too hard if you allow money to be your driving force. We all like nice things but there is a limit on how much we can sacrifice our happiness in the pursuit of gaining more money. You may feel the pressure if you have overspent or if bills are getting unpaid. The aim here is to approach the issue of money with a healthy mindset. By looking after what you already have, making changes to your budget or not becoming a slave to the material world will see you reap a happier life. Appreciating what you already have and sending a vote of financial confidence to the universe will see you receive financial abundance as you will attract it with your intentions. Avoid the money trap which will see you working harder than ever to gain every penny. Money isn’t everything, love, happiness and contentment in life is. By establishing a healthy work/play balance you will receive a far more beneficial outcome.
