Money lies we tell ourselves.

Do you think you’re telling yourself the truth about money?

We may think we know the facts about our finances. But our beliefs can often overshadow the facts.

Our wishes, hopes, and fears can tip the scales away from the truth. This makes it easier for us to believe what we want to about money — and it can happen without us even realizing it.

The money lies we tell ourselves can change the way we think and act when it comes to finances.

But no matter what money lies we tell ourselves, it’s never too late to set the record straight.
