Blame & Shame, Ch. 3

Suze Orman does seem to have her pulse on the minds of women. In Women & Money, she asks us to let go of some serious roadblocks to progress.

Shame and Blame are evil twins that keep us from moving forward in all kinds of things. Money is certainly no exception. Lord knows my marriage, like millions of others, has been nearly derailed from money problems and arguments over who has to bear the blame and shame.

Orman makes a great point that if we don’t stop saying things like,

Well my ex-husband, husband, parents, did it.
My husband, ex-husband, or parents wouldn’t let me
No one taught me how.

then we can’t move forward. At some point, you just have to cut your loses, acknowledge where you are and move on from there.

No time like the present.
