‘The Risk-Taker’
Your financial attitude is an aspect that determines your financial wellbeing. For the economic empowerment educational program for sex workers, we will be looking at financial attitudes first. You can see what type of financial attitude you have by taking our personality test here.
To illustrate how financial attitudes manifest into one’s life, we created one dimensional renditions that embody a financial attitude. Risky Misty is the character for ‘the Risk-Taker’.
These characters are simplified renditions of our complex realities. They’re not perfect characters or to be taken too literally. They are used here to help us build the cognitive infrastructure and awareness about what financial attitudes are, how they appear in our lives and how they change over time.
Your financial attitude can be consciously changed through self-awareness, education and experience. To read more about how we’ve framed financial attitudes, you can read this post.
If Risky Misty doesn’t sound exactly like you, that’s normal. Our financial attitudes change over time, and we keep traits of previous financial attitudes, that continue to influence our thoughts and feelings subconsciously. Consciously, we want to draw upon the inherent strengths and talents of Risky Misty, because the occasion may call for it.
The idea is to centre ourselves, and our attitude to be ‘Master-Minded’ like ‘Queen Bae’. What makes Queen Bae the master is that she is able to identify situations, knows herself, and she take actions that aligns with her goals and are within her means.
Risky Misty’s are blind optimists and assume things will work out despite anything that happens. This attitude can be fitting under some circumstances, for example, many people are afraid to invest and would rather save their money. However, someone like Risky Misty has the right attitude when it comes to investing, and only needs a page from Prue the Shrewd book to balance out their impulsive nature and replace this with research.
We will soon investigate ways for Risky Misty’s to improve their financial attitude. If you identify as a Risky Misty, think about where your feelings and thoughts around money stem from, and ask yourself whether this approach is applicable or fitting for your present day life.
