浪费钱的小习惯

You confuse your account balance with your self-worth

 

The balance on your account is just a number. Yet, we tend to be emotional with that number. When this balance is not up to our standards, we may feel shame and self-pity.

 

That’s exactly what overweight–or even thin–people feel when on the scale. The number on the scale feels like it describes their self-worth, when it doesn't!

 

The result of this confusion¹ is that you might be afraid to even open up those new bills. Or, you might avoid dealing² with your debt because it's just way too scary to do so. But the good news is that it's just a number–it doesn't have anything to do with who you are.
