Do you wish that you were more successful, but that the reasons for this lack are not your fault? Have you been hurt in the past in regard to your money and find it difficult to get past it?
If so, you may carry the Money Victim as one of your strong Money Types. The “Money Type Quiz“ can help determine how prominent the Money Victim type is among your Money Types.
Money Victims have typically experienced abuse, betrayal, or loss, and have been unable to work through that pain on their own. But not all Money Victims express this money pattern in the same way:
- Do you often feel highly emotional regarding money, even if there may be no immediate reason for it?
- Do you have any addictive financial behaviors, such as compulsive spending, gambling, or hoarding?
Regardless of how this victimhood presents itself, the Money Victim often has the following traits:
- Financially irresponsible
- Feels powerless
- Seeks to be rescued
This victimhood becomes even darker when the Money Victim projects this pain outwardly toward others and exhibits the following characteristics:
- Resentful
- Unforgiving
- Prone to blaming others
- Passive-aggressive, refusing to take direct action to solve their problems
These reactionary behaviors may keep the Money Victim pinned in negative money patterns, in which they live out a self-fulfilling prophecy of bad money outcomes.
The more that the Money Victim feels ill-treated by others, the harder it may be to release these narratives and focus on direct, positive, self-motivated change. It is often important for Money Victims to seek psychological counseling to heal themselves from the pain of early betrayals, so that they can move on to an enlightenment that allows compassion, understanding, and direct positive action.
Specific steps that can help the Money Victim include:
- Exploring self-healing and self-calming techniques
- Making connections in order to avoid isolation
- Engaging in forgiveness practices
Instead of feeling a sense of entitlement because of how much they have already suffered, a recovering Money Victim can stop pouring energy into trying to get others to do for them what they refuse to do for themselves. Instead they can focus on remaining in the present and use their past experiences as a motivating tool for change.
