LETTER TO THE SPIRIT OF MONEY

Hi money, how have you been doing? I hope you are doing very well.

I know we have parted ways sometimes, but I have come here, through these words to make amendments with you.

Maybe I have been taught the wrong way from my parents how to deal with you.

I saw my mother wasting money and buying without ever making a budget, but I also remember her doing everything in her power so we could have some good stuff. But, please money, do understand, she suffered from a disease called bipolar disorder, so, on her over confident periods she got rid of all the money, and I never understood where it went, and on her depressed state she was never able to make an account of it.

I saw her taking loans from the bank over and over again and also selling live stock for lower prices just to pay the monthly bills. She was wrong. And so was I by doing similar behavior like that. I´ll change, but please, I´ll need your help and comprehension.

 I also know that my mother was very intelligent and hardworking and that she did all that she could for us. But maybe I have learned how to deal with you money, my dear friend, the wrong way. So please forgive me and see my efforts of becoming better at handling your energy.

I also may have learned the lessons from my father the wrong way. I understand now. He has had a difficult childhood money related, never having enough of it. He had to make his way through. But he also may have gotten it the wrong way. At first he was very cheap, denying us kids of the little childhood pleasures like candy or other little stuff. But then I think he got guilty and gave us expensive unnecessary gifts. I also still see him giving away lots of money to lots of people.

I know better now, his guilty should never have been in use of my needs. I should always find my own way with you, money, my friend and I should not feel guilty when I use you. But, most definitely, I know now how your energy works. I know that I have to take good care of you, that I have to plan where I spend you. But I also know that your energy must flow so I have to let go of you sometimes. It is hard for me to understand these concepts put together, to plan, to keep, to make you grow, to put you to good use and also to let it go sometimes, but I am starting to grasp it.

So please money, I hope you understand. And I sincerely hope we get better together for I´ll most definitely treat you the right way from now on.

Yours sincerely

Your Friend Marco Ferrão.
