Each one of us has our own relationship with money and how we use it. Experts have identified 4 categories of this have named them money scripts.

Money scripts are what our inner thoughts tell us when we run into a financial decision. They’re the basis of how we go about handling money situations.

The 4 money scripts include:
Money Avoidance
Money Focus
Money Status
Money vigilance

Barry Bigelow from Great Waters financial says that these different values either do or do not impact our money decisions. He says, “So sometimes what we focus on with money is not actually what we value, but it’s what we picked up as a child, either from our parents or from these experiences that we’ve had.”

“And so it’s good to be able to step back with someone and go. Am I actually doing what my values say I want to be doing with money? There are people who live money through their values and that’s beautiful because it helps us to accomplish a great many things.”
