This morning, I woke up excited. I decided to take the plunge and call The Financial Whisperer, Pegi Burdick. I loved that Pegi got straight to the point. She asked me a few questions about what I hoped to accomplish and why. I explained to her that I have always been afraid of doing the wrong thing when it comes to money. Like right now. My man and I are talking about maybe moving somewhere that fits our lifestyle better. Sounds great, huh? Only thing is, I'm afraid to move. I'm afraid of what property taxes will be (we are over 40) on a new house. How can I move away from my parents (major guilt trip going on there). Should I sell my house or rent it out? Should we stay put and remodel my house after he sells his house? The whole thing makes me light headed, like a major sugar rush.
After I blurted out just a fraction of my worries, Pegi reassured me that I'm not the only one that feels that way. It seems that most of us were raised by parents who did the best with what they knew. Unfortunately, they unintentionally imposed 'shame' upon us at a very young age. So as adults we feel unworthy, we don't trust ourselves or others and we may also feel insecure, shy, isolated and have anger issues! Wow! And here I thought I had the greatest parents in the world! Thanks Mom and Dad.
