Negative emotions about money
It is normal to feel negative about money. For example, you may be paying off a college loan and feel anxious and guilty when thinking about your debt.

These feelings can be made worse when you compare yourself to others. You can't go on vacation, but your friends can. Or they just bought cars, but you can't.
