Money as an Extension of Self: Shifting Perspective to Reduce Financial Stress

Jesse Mecham argues that a lack of respect for money leads to worry, suggesting that we should view money not as a separate chore but as an extension of ourselves. This perspective shift, he posits, elevates money from a mundane task to an act of self-care and self-respect, making financial management more intentional.

If we can start to see money truly for what it is, which is that it is us.
So what you get is money for that thing. And that's why I feel like the best thing you can say that money is is you.
Then we're starting to elevate money in someone's eyes, like, that's not just a chore, that's not just a task, that's not something evil, that's not something that's wrong to want.
