It is so refreshing to hear someone talk about money, not in general terms, but in relation to a specific investment and the highs and lows of that, recognising fallibility, greed and good fortune. Some USA studies show that many partners do not know how much the other earns - this seems a really good indication of our complex relationship with money - it is so tied into our freedom, our self-worth, how others see us, how we are valued. Thank you!

Thank you Susan. Your reference to the US studies are a perfect example of the hold that money has on many of us. Money is an energy for both good and bad evoking strong emotions as you say. It is so much more than a means of exchange…I can feel another blog coming on :-)
