When you begin taking a look at your finances and where you’d like to be, there are a few questions you might begin asking yourself.
Questions like: What is my current money situation? What are the financial goals that I want to accomplish? How can I achieve more wealth, stability, and better financial health?
But you might also have this nagging negative money mindset, which limits you and keeps you believing that you can’t change your financial situation.
However, this is where money affirmations can help. And quite frankly, they should be one of the first steps you take in your new money journey.
Letโs explore what money affirmations are, various examples, and how they can empower you further.
What Are Money Affirmations?
Have you ever heard someone refer to themself as a โmoney magnet?”
Those that can create wealth in abundance often have a different money mindset; using affirmations and the law of attraction to increase their worth.ย
Money affirmations definition
Money affirmations are phrases and mantras about finance that allow the individual to more easily visualize the lifestyle they desire and to keep the person more focused. They are usually repeated out loud or internally and may be repeated daily or weekly.
This in turn improves your relationship with money and highlights more opportunities to earn. Plus, these financial affirmations keep you focused on your financial goals and future desires.
Additionally, money affirmations work alongside the law of attraction as a mechanism to draw in cash in abundance. They continually remind the individual of the power and desire for money. But more importantly, to ensure you live a stress-free life and even reach financial freedom!
Why Affirmations About Money Matter
The purpose of money affirmations is to remind the user (usually, on a daily basis), of the thoughts, feelings, and desires that come with having more money. The constant suggestion aligns with the law of attraction; which says that you will achieve whatever you focus on in life.
Therefore, money affirmations can also help reset a negative mindset and guide you back to positivity and action towards your money. Often, your mindset is what keeps you stuck in bad financial habits and affects your overall mood to change the way things are currently.
The more you talk positively and look for the good in your finances, the more energy you’ll put towards your desires and putting in the effort.
Affirmations also work as they help you in believing that you can attract more money. This belief is often the final step before starting to find the resources and tools that can help change your financial health!

How Financial Affirmations Helped Me
If you have read some of my past posts, you’d know that prior to 2014 my finances were in rough shape. I’m talking debt (student loans, car, and credit card), almost no savings, low salary (under $40k per year), and weak financial knowledge.
I thought I’d never remove my debt, that learning about finances would be too difficult, that having a great salary was just a fantasy, and living paycheck to paycheck would always be my future.
Needless to say, my mindset was all messed up! But since that time, some amazing things have happened when it comes to my finances.
While I’m still building my wealth, I’ve reached a very secure state of financial stability, debt-free, managing my investments on my own, and increased my salary to over $100k per year while also building a sustainable side hustle.
How’d I do it?
Well, it started with realizing this is not how I want the rest of my life to be. I began writing down some money affirmations, goals and started working on my mindset when it came to money.
From there I started getting excited about the potential for my finances and career. I got motivated and began reading books and finding other resources that could give me the tools to succeed.
Results didn’t happen overnight and there were certainly setbacks, but because my mindset was in the right place I kept going.
Personally, I truly believe your mindset is what tends to hold most people back. If you can work through that and set your own money affirmations, it may help you get on the right track.
