A reader’s question grabbed me by the gut and I HAD to shoot a video response!

She writes, “How do I pretend money is wooing me when I can’t pay my credit card bill in full?”

Can you guess what I said?

Check out my new video!

And if you’ve been through the process (and know what I’m talking about), please chip in and post your comments and experiences below.

I talk a lot about how to change your relationship with money from a monster who hates you into a honey who adores you.

But that’s just the beginning! How do you take full advantage of this new relationship? Read on…

“This is too weird; I recently met a man who is almost the spitting image of my Money Honey.  He wears his hair differently, and the nose is a little smaller, but the body, face and eyes are all the same.  He even dances — and sings to me, and he’s sooooo sweet!  I’m afraid I’m falling for him because I already feel so familiar with his twin.  My heart is getting all mixed up.  Does this mean it’s time to change my Money Honey?  Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?” Rita K.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) — People’s individual relationships with money must improve for the world economic crisis to end, a U.S. wealth-creation coach and author said Friday.

“It’s no wonder we’re in the state we’re in. From Lehman Brothers and AIG to people who lied on their mortgage applications to buy homes they couldn’t afford, we abused and manipulated money — and then were surprised when it left,” Morgana Rae, author of “Financial Alchemy: Create a New Relationship with Money,” told United Press International.

People’s relationships with money are “as real and dynamic as if they were with another person,” said Rae, owner of Charmed Life Coaching in Los Angeles.

Our relationships are often filled with hidden beliefs that cause us to unconsciously push money away, she told UPI.

“Those beliefs may be that money is evil or untrustworthy — beliefs that cause us to abuse, manipulate or unconsciously ‘protect’ ourselves from wealth,” she said.

“If you were continually abused and manipulated in a relationship, you might take it for a while, but you’d eventually leave. That’s the way it is with money,” Rae said.

By contrast, if you felt cared for and valued, you’d give more of yourself to the relationship, she said.

“Money is like any other relationship,” Rae said. “It comes where it’s invited and appreciated. It rarely comes when it’s chased. The more you care for this relationship, the more money you will attract.”

Here’s the letter that came in:

“Hi Morgana. My concern is that every time I get a job and start making money, I can never have enough money because something always comes up (i.e paying bills, etc…) and don’t have enough to buy things that I really want (i.e car, house, etc…). I want to just be financially free and live happy without stressing over not having enough money. I mean I don’t necessarily have to be rich but just have enough. Am I cursed financially or why is this happening to me?”

I answered in a video:

Here’s the latest “How to become a Money Magnet” question to come in for Financial Alchemy: do you need to believe it for it to work?

I decided to post my response on Youtube (hence the introduction for newbies) and here. Comments anyone?
