"

That's it, there is no more strength to pretend to be asleep.

"Natasha, inject!" - I jumped out of bed and flew into the kitchen. My bosom Natalia is sitting there, who blabbed with me until the morning in the fun nightclubs. And, as a result, she spent the night with me. A trifle, a matter of everyday life! But she seems to have gone crazy … Here she is - a pretty and young, slender and attractive young lady, COURSING OVER THE WALLET! And Mysterious They are affectionate and dear, adored and beautiful - this is money! Money. And my countless and almost incoherent "What?", "How?" and "Why?", "What's going on?" and "What's the matter?" - are rewarded with the most detailed answer.

Its essence is as follows: the girl is tired of chronic lack of money. No, of course, no one planned to die of hunger, but … Working "without raising her head" and "not stopping hands", our heroine seriously thought before spending a certain amount, for example, on mind-blowing and, of course, expensive panties. Or cool tights. The purchase of French perfume with hard-earned banknotes is a carefully planned event for Natasha! I agree that expensive perfume is a luxury item. However, they are damn desirable, aren't they ?! (And, let's face it, the roads are not fatal). “You know,” the friend continued, “it seemed to me that the eternal lack of money was a normal state. Do you remember, at first we are students: a scholarship, a part-time job, parents will give it a little … Life around is so interesting, everything is new, unclear, but living is a pleasure! Plans - a great many! And especially not up to money - what can I say! The situation is familiar and passed by everyone. Then I - a classic "young specialist running errands", everything is correct - I gain experience and reason and mind. Next is the current position, by the way, creative, interesting and quite promising! Career growth is the envy of former classmates, it is obvious - the position is solid and worthy, the leadership will not be overjoyed, praise and handshakes are routine daily routine for me … everything is fine! Great! And almost free. I was still in the university cool drawing, and so, theses at the height of the season - the very thing! Only now I did not get enough sleep. And the gentlemen? All, as one, are dreamers! The infamous castles were erected - you will swing. They are still making it into reality. Only without me and without my consolations, exhortations and forgiveness, that's enough for me, yes! I'm a scientist now. AND RICH ".

"Wow!" - it took my breath away! And as a reward for many years of disinterested friendship, the Reason of the Sad Lack of Money was revealed to me: after being properly depressed, Natalia went to a psychologist to find out why life did not work out and what is the root of its ever-present, joyless and annoying problems.

How long or short, in a conversation with a specialist about dislike and bad luck, the truth was revealed: it turns out that my friend literally does not like money! After analyzing her own "life position", she remembered that "you cannot build stone chambers from the works of the righteous," "money always comes with sweat and blood," "wealth is a shame!" - these and similar arguments for her have always been unshakable and the only true in relation to money.

And the money seemed to answer her to such slogans with a completely logical dislike. The psychologist said so. Yes, she herself was as surprised as you were!

I thought: I remembered a different story - another bosom friend of mine, Irina, ten years ago (horror!), Unexpectedly earned some money - she "cheated" as a toastmaster at a student wedding. She immediately lowered the unexpected capital onto expensive and classy shoes. And after returning home with the purchase, with unexpected zeal, she licked and cleaned the entire three-room parental apartment … Strange reaction to the purchase? Then, talking about what happened, Ira shared her feelings: “You know, you’ll laugh, but I think I FEELED GUILTY! Imagine, guilty for buying myself an expensive and high-quality thing for my own and honestly earned money! Laughter, yes But after this incident, I did not buy anything dear for myself for a long time, and a rather big amount was definitely allocated from the earned - for a gift to my mother, father or brother. For what reason? Yes, just like that, for no reason … Or rather, it seems to me, For a long time I felt uncomfortable for the money "unfolded" on the shoes, maybe because I bought them for MYSELF? After all, I gave my mother expensive gifts …

Alas, such a reaction is not at all uncommon. Here you go, the problem looms more clearly: the reasons for the financial insolvency of many of us are in ourselves! Feeling of guilt before money ("those who have money are not clean on their hands, and virtue is penniless and disinterested!"), Shame ("it is a shame to be materialistic and prudent!"), A latent desire to get rid of money as soon as possible, it also happens !

Plus the confidence that an honest, (read, good, "correct" person) earns money only by overwork, and even a woman, thanks to our vaunted mentality (here I leave a place for an obscene tirade), in general, cannot EARN big money with intelligence and professionalism! And if she has this very "big money", then "everyone knows - from where, yes!"

The picture is bleak, and to talk on a favorite topic: "Who is to blame?" you can endlessly. We will not do this. We will enthusiastically study the following recommendations (from Natasha's psychologist and other quite competent specialists). And let's leave financial troubles in the past. Forever and ever!

- According to the conclusions of experts, money is a special energy. Money seems to feel our attitude towards them. And if you are indifferent to money, or even "despise despicable metal" - be prepared for an adequate response from the despised.

- Where will you store them? Which bank? If you cannot have a clear idea of the answers to these questions, then, alas, you are not yet ready to operate with "millions" … as experts say, we have as much money as we are READY to have.

- You are a professional. Determine exactly how much your work costs. Per day. In an hour. Do not allow yourself or others to biasedly lower these rates. Demand the due! You deserve to be demanding!

- And stop mentally sorting out "decadent" statements, such as "Oh, no money … Poor me, no one appreciates me!" Quite the opposite: "I AM RICH! (Remember, Natasha?) Money simply adores me! And I love money! And I am free from guilt before loving them!"

- And … Don't get hung up on money. They don't like maniacs. They are afraid of them and bypass them! It makes sense, isn't it?
