When you make a purchase, what language do you use to justify it to yourself or others? Are you telling yourself that it’s “okay” to spend because you deserve a reward, or are you concerned about how others will perceive your financial decisions? The words and phrases we use when we talk about money can shape our attitudes, emotions, and ultimately our financial well-being. If you find yourself feeling guilty, anxious, or regretful about your spending habits, it might be time to reassess the language you use around money.
