"This Quest has given me new inspiration to tailor my energy"

Most of my life I've been taught by my mother that rich people do not go to heaven. At the same time my dad, who was very generous with certain things, did not want to spend money on several things if he did not view them as necessary (and my mom was very similar). I always thought that was the right way to do it since they came to the US with almost nothing and built up their wealth with hard work. They eventually bought a house! While I didn't get EVERYTHING I wanted as a child, I never NEEDED anything. As I've grown however, I think all of that "penny pinching" has made me a little more rebellious in how I want to spend. While I'm good with saving money when I have a steady paycheck, I realized that sometimes I'll spend above my means, as a way to almost catch up on the things I wanted to do and have as a child but was told "there's no money."

This Quest has given me new inspiration to tailor my energy into the things that matter-good relationships and inner peace-so that I can truly live a life of abundance and never have to worry about money troubles again. It's taking some practice, but I believe I'm on my way!
