Making Money
My Dad Went Bankrupt, It Changed How I Think About Money

All his life had been that person that you've just described.

Making Money

Never really accumulated much wealth, never put money into savings and pensions, always blew it, and quite often on other people.

buying gifts and so forth, and on his kids when he had kids.

And it was quite late in life that he went for some therapy in his case.

And they took it right back to, he was a small child in a department store with his mum and dad.

And his mum, he got lost.

And he was lost for about 10 minutes in this department store, which is pretty terrifying, the age of four or something like that.

And then when his mum found him, absolutely tore him off, shouted at him and told him off.

Making Money

Because she was scared and worried.

Making Money
My Dad Went Bankrupt, It Changed How I Think About Money

She was scared, yeah.

Making Money
My Dad Went Bankrupt, It Changed How I Think About Money

Yeah, can't blame her.

Making Money

You can understand the situation.

Making Money

But for him, that set in his brain, my mum doesn't love me.

Making Money

And he kept that belief without realizing it all his life.

Making Money

And it was a lack of self-worth that meant that when he got money, he would just give it away because he wasn't worthy of having money.

Making Money

So that's how deep these self-limiting beliefs can go.

How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?

Making Money
My Dad Went Bankrupt, It Changed How I Think About Money

Only one, but the light bulb's got to really want to change.

Making Money
My Dad Went Bankrupt, It Changed How I Think About Money

It can, yeah.

Making Money

That to me is... It depends how deep the problem is, doesn't it?
