Why the Economy is in a Rut
and
How Emotions may be the Key Factor in Financial Freedom
CHICAGO, IL – The U.S Department of Labor recently reported that the unemployment rate soared from 5 percent to 5.5 percent during May, the largest spike in two decades. With the economy in a slump, many citizens are resorting to any type of income, even if it means participating in a job or career that they are unhappy with. ChicagoHealers.com business service company owner Julie Casserly* says that the unhappiness in people’s work lives may be just the reason the economy is in trouble.
“No one has spoken about the emotion that lies in the trenches of financial problems,” says Casserly. “We make money based on our emotions and, unfortunately, 90 percent of toxins in our body are emotional.”
In Casserly’s new book, The Emotion Behind Money, Casserly explains that many people are in the mindset that the more money they obtain, the happier and more financially secure they will be. In reality, many people who make $300,000 annually may have the same problems as someone who makes $50,000 annually. The problem many people face is that although some are happy in their careers, many who aren’t compensate by purchasing things for themselves and their families that are often over-extravagant and expensive.
“The higher a person’s income, the more debt they can expect to be in,” says Casserly. “People don’t address the emotion behind money and how feelings can fuel financial troubles.”
Casserly also believes that happiness does not come from buying things and that if all plans are based on external factors, financial destruction may ensue. Wealth needs to be built from the inside out. Many have problems with this as they have not found their sole purpose in life. In other words, they don’t know what makes them happy. One of the first things people can do to get out of financial entanglement is to change how they are obtaining their income.
In her book, Casserly advises to not engage in a job if it is not a passion. When people stay with a job they dislike, they can overcompensate for their un-stimulating career, which always results in debt.
In The Emotion Behind Money, which is to be released in June 2008, Casserly outlines that many people can gain financial freedom by pulling from within and finding out what makes them happy. The distorted vision of ‘more money equals more stuff’ has left many under pressure to keep up payments and make more cash. This often results in not having time to enjoy all the ‘stuff.’
“I wrote this book to help people realize they need help in their current reality,” says Casserly. “Once people find their sole purpose in life, money – and happiness – will start to flow.”
