The only thing that puts me off of saying "I love money" is the fact that usually when I love something it pees on my foot (both metaphorically and literally) and runs away ;)
Such an interesting interview. You can have a lot of it and then it can all disappear again. These interviews are illuminating in many ways Keris. Thank you for sharing them.
You’re so welcome. And, yes, I read the other day that the majority of people who receive a huge windfall blow through it within a couple of years. It’s fascinating.
Watching the story of Sean Quinn, a very successful businessman in Northern Ireland, I don’t think it seems like when there’s so much money around that you don’t know what to do with and you try the money make more money just through speculation people are more liable to gamble recklessly…
But maybe that’s why some of us have less? We were never that risk taking in the first place?
I also think if you’ve never had much, you’re uncomfortable when you do get some and subconsciously try to get rid of it. I definitely do that even with relatively small amounts. It’s annoying tho and I’m trying to stop!
I think we've maybe talked about this before, but there are SO MANY parallels with diet culture! Julia Cameron (of The Artist's Way) wrote a book years ago called Money Drunk, Money Sober about the parallels with alcoholism. I guess it all comes from the same place.
Great interview, Keris - and Lynette.

I think I’ve done that too. Though I think about that scenario more like a diet-deprivation-binge scenario.
When you finally get some money it feels so good to go shopping!
My relationship with money feels so complex. There’s so many external societal factors that play into it too. And what is ‘enough’?
150k is mentioned here. I think that some of money would keep me going for a good few years. Unless I bought a house or something with it.

Yes! I’m planning on writing an essay on it.
Also must check out that book. Thank you ☺️
