When It Comes to Money, We’ve All Got Issues
Money is probably the most emotionally meaningful object in contemporary life; only food and sex are its close competitors as common carriers of such strong and diverse feelings, significances, and strivings.—David W. Krueger, MD1

Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it find its way into my heart.—John Wesley, cofounder of the Methodist Church
We Don’t Talk about Money
We Talk about Money Constantly
I vividly recall my experience riding the school bus in grade school where early on I was exposed to the stress and anxiety of wanting to fit in and being accepted by my peers. I was raised in a small trailer, and on my street there were lots of rich kids with big homes. I would see the pools, designer clothes, and dirt bikes, and at that early age I decided that I would be wealthy one day. My family was not poor by any means as my parents worked long hours at a family-run printing business to make a respectable income, and we always had more than we needed. On Christmas, our living room would be overflowing with gifts, so that what we lacked in a home was made up in other ways.
As a young child I remember being fearful that the kids would find out that I lived in a trailer, and that word would get back to my classmates. Our trailer was fifty feet from my grandparents’ house. It was an older, modest farmhouse. So, if anyone on the bus asked, I would pretend like that was where we lived. It was a daily stress riding the bus that my secret would one day be revealed.
