Here's one traumatizing myth I learned that still gives me PTSD to this day. I was told by my MATH teacher that if I didn't learn math, then I would end up living on the side of the road. Nowadays, I get so stressed out about how much money I have and how much I want to give up to food and other things even if my mom is the one who is supporting me financially. It makes me nervous when she says "I'm spending more than I'm making" Because that makes me believe as in my future I will not make as much money in my career and I'll always have this anxiety over money constantly. I would love to spend all the money that I get, but I can't because I want to learn control and how to manage my money. I get freaked out over how I'm going to get a job and how much money I'm going to make off of minimum wage and how I'm going to pay bills and live in a house without being kicked out because I can't pay anything because I'm not making enough money. The whole thought of money and hearing about how people struggle to live off of minimum wage just drives me up the wall. I feel like in my future family I'm going to be the one who has to make all the money while my husband slacks off on the couch (even though I know I wouldn't allow myself to marry someone like that.) And I'm the only who's going to be doing all the work. I don't know why I have this viewpoint.

That's what I want, too. I want enough money to not have anxiety of how much money I am spending and the anxiety of not having enough money to support my family. Just the thought of it, even though I'm a freshman in college, gives me severe anxiety.
