Actions such as accumulating or spending money are intimately related to emotions. On most occasions, this resource is not accumulated or squandered for objective reasons. In this sense, we could say that money is a symbolic object; and, as such, they generate in our mind different ways of attributing meaning and administering them, always bearing in mind that they are a practically universal instrument of exchange.
It is the decisions we make that make us earn or spend. Beyond the possible lack of resources, or their excess, it is the way in which we manage them that defines everything. Money has acquired the status of a fetish, as we live in a world where everything has gradually been transformed into an object of commerce.
Many people have been marked by the combination of lack of money and shortages affective. Perhaps their parents had to leave them alone to go to work, with the aim of earning in order to survive. It is also likely that, at some point in their lives, they have felt humiliated by their lack of resources. In these cases, money becomes a very complex problem that often generates further problems.
One of the factors that lead us to spend money is the rejection or contempt of the life we ​​have. Wrongly, we are convinced that it is precisely the lack of economic resources that gives rise to this dissatisfaction.
