148. Not Broke. Just Bothered | Making Peace with Money Anxiety that Just Won’t Quit

from Fire Up at 55 Plus · host Laurie Adams

Here's something nobody tells you: feeling anxious about money is not a flaw. It's information. The worry isn’t the problem. The avoidance is.The sneaky thing that happens when we feel that anxiety — we avoid. We don't open the statement. We change the subject. We tell ourselves we'll deal with it later. And honestly? That avoidance feels like relief in the moment. Except it's not. Because the thing you're avoiding doesn't get smaller, it just gets louder in the back of your head.So here's the reframe: What if instead of calling it money anxiety, you called it money curiosity? Curiosity is energizing. Anxiety is paralyzing.
