This book is about our reluctance to grow up, our inability to take responsibility, and ways that will help us build a healthy relationship with our personal finances. Often, our internal conflicts and beliefs formed in childhood continue to influence the decisions we make in adulthood: how to earn and save money, what to invest in, how to build a family budget, whether to give money to children for pocket money, and many others. We can learn financial literacy, form the habit of saving, try to avoid impulsive purchases, but all this will not work until we deal with our psychological problems.

“The critical Parent inside stops us, suppresses creative impulses, forces us to spend money only for “necessary” things, and it is from him that prohibitions and sanctions come.”

Psychologist Irina Maryevich tells how, with the help of emotional-imaginative therapy, to get rid of internal obstacles on the path to material well-being. The techniques and exercises from the book will help you carefully “unpack” deeply hidden traumatic situations and better understand yourself.

The author explains how children’s ability to fantasize and take risks helps them earn money; why the “I want everything immediately” attitude never works; how to get rid of negative attitudes about money in the spirit of “you haven’t lived richly, there’s nothing to start with”; how to realize that behind the desire for wealth is the need for care and love.
