Why does money make me feel like a failure?

Ever feel like you're just spinning your wheels when it comes to money? You set a budget, you track your spending, but somehow it all goes sideways, right? That's the heart of our listener's question today: why does it feel like I'm always failing with money, no matter how hard I try? In this laid-back bonus episode, we dive deep into the emotions and realities tied to financial struggles. It's a real bummer when you try to save up, only to have life throw you a curveball—like that emergency expense that comes outta nowhere and wipes out your savings. But here's the thing: you're not alone. We've all been there, and it’s about breaking that cycle of financial shame. It's not about perfection; it's about progress. So let's chat about how to shift our mindset and focus on small wins like saving just ten bucks today. Because every step counts, and trust me, you’re not defined by your financial slip-ups. Let's keep it real and tackle this together!

Takeaways:

It's totally normal to feel like you're failing with money; you're not alone in this struggle.
Financial setbacks are a part of life; they don't define your worth or identity, so chill out!
Your budget might go out the window sometimes, but developing financial habits takes time, so keep at it!
Identify where your value comes from; it's not your bank account, it's your relationship with Christ that matters.
Shame and fear can weigh heavier than money itself; break the cycle by celebrating small wins, like saving just ten bucks!
You're not your financial mistakes; remember, you are a child of God, and He wants you to thrive, not just survive!
