I like money, and I intend to make a lot of it. So I intentionally surround myself with images and affirmations of wealth. Sometimes I share these online and some responses I get are amusing. It seems like people expect me to be shy about liking money. They think being open about my desire for wealth makes me materialistic.
Apparently women are not supposed to like money so much. They say it scares men away and makes you look cheap. LOL. I find this so amusing because a lot of men complain that women are always asking them for money. So they don’t want us to ask them for money, but making our own money is a crime? Please stop.
I’m not ashamed about liking money and I never will be. Money is a force for good. I’ve seen how much it can change my life and the lives of people around me. I know how much impact you can make with a well-timed financial gift. I’ve also seen how much damage poverty can cause. I know what it’s like to need something desperately and not get it because there’s no money. I refuse to let that be my life’s story.
So yeah I like money. I desire it and I will take action towards making it. I want money to know that we’re friends and it will always be welcome around me. There’s a quote by Grant Cardone that I can never forget:
“Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.” I don’t want money to ignore me, so I won’t ignore it.
Dear woman, there’s nothing wrong with liking money. Desire it and take action to get what you want. You don’t need to beg a man for money. You can make your own. I believe in the Bible and in Deuteronomy 8:18, it says that God has given me the power to create wealth. He has given you the power, you can do it.
I leave you with my favourite quote from the book ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ :
“Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.”
