Principle one: be money conscious

The money consciousness principle is uniquely interesting to us because when we wrote 4, we thought we brilliantly coined this term “money conscious.” To us, it meant being clear on how much money we earn, save and spend. It meant having a little understanding of the economy, and it affects our lives.

It wasn’t until after we published 4 that we read Napoleon Hill’s book, Think & Grow Rich. In his book, Hill talks about money consciousness on a metaphysical level. The results of money consciousness on both a practical and spiritual level produce the same results. As Hill says, “only those who become money conscious ever accumulate great riches.”

Achieving money consciousness

On this Queer Money™, David tells a fun but all too familiar story about when we weren’t money conscious and spent over $500 on new clothes for one weeknight of dancing – the queens must dance, right? This is an example of what we mean by living fabulously broke. We then share our story of how we became money conscious and its effect on our personal and financial lives.

Because we all love money tools, we share several tools to help you become money conscious, including our free eBook, Do You Know How To Be Money Conscious?
