“You’re so expensive.”
“You have too many financial expectations.”
“You should be grateful for what you have.”
How many times have you been made to feel guilty for wanting more? For craving a life where you don’t have to calculate the cost of every little thing? Where you don’t have to settle for the bare minimum just to be seen as “reasonable”?
Let me tell you something—you’re not high maintenance. You’re just underfunded. And the sooner you shift your mindset around money, the sooner you’ll realize that your desires aren’t excessive—they’re valid.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that wanting financial security, abundance, and even luxury is somehow shameful. That seeking wealth is selfish. That financial success should be modest, and anything beyond “just enough” is greed. But here’s the truth: there is nothing wrong with wanting a life where money isn’t a constant source of stress.
When you say you want a bigger paycheck, a better car, or a life where you can travel without worrying about your bank balance, you’re not being difficult—you’re being honest about what financial peace looks like for you and it looks different for everyone.
Somewhere along the way, we started equating financial struggle with virtue and wealth with excess. But money is neither good nor bad—it’s a tool. And just like any tool, it can either empower you or leave you feeling powerless, depending on how you use it. This is your sign to get a Wealth Advisor to help you figure out how to use money as a tool.
Having more money doesn’t mean you’re greedy. It means:
- You can take care of yourself without anxiety.
- You can give generously without depleting yourself.
- You can afford rest, joy, and experiences that make life fulfilling.
So why do we shame ourselves for wanting that?
Instead of seeing your financial goals as “too much,” start seeing them as intentional self-care. Wanting a financially stable life isn’t about vanity—it’s about freedom.
Instead of: “I feel bad for wanting more money.”
Try: “I deserve financial stability, and I am capable of achieving it.”
Instead of: “Maybe I should lower my expectations.”
Try: “I will raise my income to meet my standards, not shrink my standards to fit my income.”
Instead of: “I don’t need that much.”
Try: “I am allowed to thrive, not just survive.”
But the First Step is Taking Action on Your Finances.
Wanting more is not enough. Change happens when you make intentional moves toward financial wellness. The difference between feeling stuck and creating the life you want starts with understanding where you are financially and building a roadmap to where you want to be.
