Come with me as I share journal prompts for money in your life’s picture.
Have you heard of the saying, money is the root of all evil? I’m not sure if that is 100% true. Having a sufficient amount of money can sure make life easier.
With the rising cost of food, housing, gasoline, clothing, and everything else it seems, it can be hard to make ends meet.
My kids are out on their own and living in apartments in various places. It is extremely hard for them to find an apartment that they can afford that is not a dive.
You pretty much have to be bringing in a very good salary, or plan on renting a place with at least one other person.
And my kids are still single with no partner or kids. Add two or three children to the scenario and you’re looking at a huge price tag for housing.
I truly do not know how families manage these days with the cost of groceries and rent prices.
The fact is, everyone ought to be able to live their best life, and that, my friend, requires money.
If you have dreams and goals of having more money in order to have a better life then there are concrete steps you can take to make that happen.

7 A Week’s Money Journal Prompts
If you’re trying to get started but are feeling overwhelmed, or you have begun on your journey to living a better life and need some help staying on track, here are some prompts that keep it simple.
The list that follows has seven journal prompts so you can pick one each day for a week.
A few prompts direct you to think about the messages you got about money when you were growing up.
I know my parents’ generation believed it was wrong to talk about money with their children.
As a result, I knew nothing about finances and how to manage them or how to make my money grow.
We can only blame our parents so much, though. In the end, being fiscally responsible is something each of us needs to learn.
I love these last two prompts in this category:
How would you like to feel about money? Write a letter to Money, as if Money were a person, telling him or her what kind of relationship you would like to have.
If you were to suddenly receive 10 million dollars, and you had to spend it and/or invest it within 24 hours, what would you do with it? Be specific: if you plan to invest a portion of it, exactly where would you invest it? If you want to give some of it away, exactly to whom or what organization(s) would you give it? Account for every penny.
Try out each one of these prompts as you work through the week!
24. "What do you believe about money? Do you believe that it’s hard to come by? Are you comfortable or uncomfortable with the idea of earning a lot of money? Do you feel deserving or undeserving when it comes to financial abundance? Do you resent those who have it? Freewrite for ten minutes about your beliefs regarding money. What, if anything, did you learn or notice about yourself as a result of your writing exploration?"
25. "What is your first memory about money? What happened and why do you remember it?"
26. "When you think about discussing money with your partner or with someone close to you, what are your dominant emotions? Shame? Anger? Confusion? Anxiety? Satisfaction? Comfort? Name your emotions and then write about the money memories associated with them."
27. "What did your parents say about money and did their actions back up their words? List at least five things you remember hearing your parents say about money. Now list at least five things you remember about the way they handled money."
28. "Did your parents tend to agree or disagree with one another when it came to money issues? Were their money messages consistent or inconsistent? What was your reaction to their lessons? Which values did you internalize and which did you rebel against? How has that internalization/rebellion created tension about money in your life?"
29. "How would you like to feel about money? Write a letter to Money, as if Money were a person, telling him or her what kind of relationship you would like to have."
