Well, this made me tear up. I’m literally experiencing this feeling. The poverty mindset even though I’ve got a great job, no debt, & funding my 3mths’ emergency fund. God bless you! Thank you for this.

In reply to Susanne Ward. Wow, that was so well said. You're absolutely right, we often have enough even when we don't completely realize it. Thank you so much for commenting!

Lynne Twist in her book The Soul of Money talks about how even wealthy people who don’t recognize that they have sufficiencies in their lives will continue to obsessively amass more money as if they need it. We all have sufficiencies in our lives, whether it’s the love of our family, enough food on the table, a warm place to live, a warm cat on our lap, the sun shining, a brain that functions, money in the bank, good health, or just waking up in the morning to experience another day on this amazing earth. More than anything else, consciously recognizing my own sufficiencies has helped me shift from the poverty mentality I held tightly for so many years. It is enough.

In reply to Tim LifeForTheBetter. I'd definitely say it's an FI trait for sure. Helps keep us from spending money when we absolutely don't need to!
