Introducing Good-Girl Pearl!
Share‘The Virtuous’
Watch the video explaining this here!
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. Good-Girl Pearl is the character for ‘the Virtuous’.
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 Good-Girl Pearl 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 Good-Girl Pearl, 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.
Good-Girl Pearl’s don’t care much for their personal finance because they don’t value money and feel apathetic about the impact money has on the world. In many ways, this is a good attitude to have, many people lose their identity, time, relationships with others and community because they are obsessed with making money (or work). This couldn’t be Good-Girl Pearl. Where Good-Girl Pearl’s attitude falls short, is in seeing money as a neutral tool that can be wielded for good or bad purposes. For this reason alone, Pearl’s can be motivated to take control of their personal finance, as this will equip them with the means to live a life of integrity.
We will soon investigate ways for Good-Girls Pearl’s to improve their financial attitude. If you identify as a Good-Girls Pearl, 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.
