Lots of money would be SECURE

Little money would be SIMPLE.

I think I say SIMPLE because since I'm a SAHM we have less money coming in every month (about 40% less) and I feel our life is SIMPLIER. That is probably why SIMPLE came to my mind.

Not having enough money to take good care of my family would be very STRESSFUL.

Before I read any responses this is what I thought....

Lots of money....nervous
little money...nervous

I say nervous for lots of money because I think if I had lots of money I'd be afraid or nervous that I'd run out and spend it all, or be stupid with it, or screw something up investing it. Although if I had very little money I would also be nervous....
So maybe it's good that I'm some place in the middle, so I'm comfortable.

Having lots of money makes me feel accomplished and financially secure.

Having little money makes me feel unstable and stressed out!

My quick responses were SAFE and VULNERABLE

having money makes me feel safe.
having little money makes me feel antsy and insecure.

having money makes me feel safe
Not having money makes me feel sick to my stomach

Having lots of money makes me feel ___________. STRESSED. Having more money means you have more responsibility to manage that money in the right way.

Having little money makes me feel ____________. STRESSED. Not having much money means you have to manage what little you have the right way too. Also I don't like not being able to pay a bill off completely each month. So not having enough money to cover all my bills completely would stress me out.

Let's see my answers are:

-happy because we could pay off debt, put more money in our retirement fund, get better health insurance, fund 3 college funds, have a great savings account, move into our dream home, get my poor dh a new car his is 11 yrs old with no a/c (and we live in Tx), and we wouldn't have to worry anymore!!

Having little money makes me worried!
