Money is a happy thing: teaching children it's just energy
Shelly discovered a transformative approach to money mindset through the concept of 'happy money,' learning to view money as neutral energy rather than something evil or scarce. They now see how teaching this perspective to children could create a fundamental paradigm shift in how future generations relate to money.
Happy money is one of the ways to start breaking up this belief that money is evil, money is bad and there's not enough of it. I think it's a real shift and a paradigm and I think it could be a game-changer. If you start with young children saying that money is a happy thing and teach children that when you give it it's happy and when you receive it it's happy. Then, it's just something. It's not this horrible thing. It's an inanimate object. It's actually just energy.
