It would appear that money creates a lose-lose scenario: If you don't have it, your performance suffers, your relationships suffer, and you may die sooner. But, if you have great wealth, you may be more likely to engage in victim blaming, and less likely to help others by choice. How do we solve this conflict? Do we have to choose between caring about people and caring about money? How do we create lives of great value, without compromising our own deep values? We do it by working with our psychology. By mindfully developing a healthy relationship with money and learning some simple new ways of thinking, we can avoid the psychological dangers that can accompany both poverty and wealth\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes money represent luxury, security, and peace of mind, or stress, inequality, barriers, and greed? \u003ci\u003eLOADED\u003c\/i\u003e is written for anyone who struggles with their complex relationship with the so-called \"root of all evil.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than offering traditional financial advice, Sarah Newcomb (a Morningstar behavioral economist) digs deeper and approaches money management from a fresh angle. \u003ci\u003eLOADED\u003c\/i\u003e explains how our experiences with money have a psychological basis and can often run counter to our core values. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur personal history has a profound influence on how we handle or mishandle money. In reality, however, money is a simple tool, a neutral resource that is full of possibilities. It can be used for good or for ill, and how we use it is entirely a matter of personal choice. Our relationship with money is almost never about the numbers. It is about \u003ci\u003ethe stories we tell ourselves\u003c\/i\u003e because of those numbers. We all come to believe certain stories based on our upbringing and our experiences with money.

Once a clear understanding of an individual's beliefs about money is established, the human-centered approach to budgeting and money management can be put into action. This budgeting structure incorporates several principles from psychology that are missing or misaligned in traditional budgeting methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fresh approach outlined in this book is a money management method rooted in psychology that offers a way of changing one's financial life by creating a plan for money that is both deeply satisfying and also sustainable over the long term.
