Our relationship to money begins pre-birth. Its seeds are sown in the psyches of our ancestors burgeoning forth to enter ours across many generations. Families develop an archetypal blueprint around money and pass on values and belief systems that are profoundly powerful, albeit unconscious. Our ideologies around money influence us far more than we can ever imagine. In fact, I would go as far as to say that our relationship to money is both a key influencer and indicator of our sense of worth, purpose, and place in this world.

Parents in particular are zealously obsessed with their childrens financial well-being. Guised as success, most parents claim that they desire this for their children because they believe that this is the pathway to their happiness. Consciously or unconsciously, parents, like us all, have associated money with all things good: peace, beauty, harmony, and the ubiquitous treasure called happiness. It is because we have tied success, i.e. financial well-being, to an internal state of utopia that parents let themselves off the hook and allow themselves to push their children to achieve this coveted prize called success at all costs. In the name of love, they push and pressure themselves and their children toward being the best, little realizing that there is no scientific consensus on what it means to truly be successful.
