What Is Financial Abundance?
Financial abundance is a state of mind. You believe there is more than enough money and resources for everyone, including yourself.
This positive attitude empowers you to make proactive financial decisions and be true to your financial values.
Financial abundance also goes beyond monetary wealth. It’s not only managing your finances, but also finding balance in other aspects, like time, relationships, and health.
The Financial Abundance Mindset
Even if you’ve held yourself back in the past, your future is not yet written. Write it yourself with these mindset tips.
View Money in the Right Light
Recognize that money is a tool to help you reach your goals. It is not an enemy, you don’t have to “deserve” it, and it isn’t inherently bad.
Instead of thinking “money is bad” change it to “Money is a tool I can use to do good for my family and the world.”
Make Growth a Priority
With a growth mindset, you believe that you can develop new skills, take positive risks, and learn from your mistakes.
Trust that you can improve your financial situation with time and effort. You’ve got this!
Ditch the Scarcity Mindset
When it comes to money, having an abundance mindset is crucial.
| Abundance Mindset | Scarcity Mindset |
|---|---|
| Believes there’s enough for everyone | Believes resources are limited |
| Focuses on possibilities | Focuses on limitations |
| Grateful for what they have | Envious of others’ success |
Remember, your thoughts and beliefs greatly impact your financial reality.
Begin to Build Your Financial Abundance
Next, build a strong financial future by starting with these practical steps.
Set Clear Financial Goals
The first step towards financial abundance is setting clear financial goals. Take time to think about what you want to achieve financially. Then create specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals.
For example:
- Pay off $5,000 credit card debt in 12 months
- Save $5,000 for buying a car
- Retire with $1 million in savings by age 65
Working toward your goals brings a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. It’s also the clearest way toward financial abundance.
Make a Savings Strategy: AKA a Budget
Creating a budget helps you become aware of your spending and take control of your financial future.
- First, evaluate your income, expenses, and current spending habits.
- Next, categorize your needs vs wants
- Identify areas where you can reduce unnecessary spending.
Use a percentage-based budget like the 30 30 30 10 or the 60 20 20 budget template to make sure you have a specific amount for savings each month.
Here’s a simple budget table you could follow according to the 60 20 20 rule:
| Monthly Income | Needs | Wants | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| $3,500 | $2100 | $700 | $700 |
Surround yourself with the Right People
You become like the people you spend time with. That’s why it’s crucial to be around others who share a similar mindset.
Write down a list of the people you are around often. Which ones are grateful, generous, and looking for opportunity?
Daily Habits for Financial Abundance
How do you feel financially abundant? Learn how to train your mind, so that you’ll have financial abundance no matter what life throws at you.
Mind Over Money: Train Your Thoughts
Affirmations and mantras can play a vital role in financial abundance. By focusing on positive thoughts and intentions, you replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. Start with prosperous daily affirmations that suit your unique financial goals.
For example:
- I seek positive action every day.
- Money flows to me from multiple sources.
- I stand up for what I need today.
For positive change, regularly practice these affirmations and genuinely believe in their power.
Feel Blessed
Be grateful for the resources you have, and have faith in your ability to continue growing your wealth.
Consider starting a gratitude journal where you list things you are grateful for each day. This practice helps train your brain to focus on abundance rather than scarcity.
Harness the Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the principle that you attract into your life what you focus on. Like attracts like.
If you can imagine amazing things in your mind’s eye, you can achieve them through action. If you expect good things to happen, they will.
How can your life be amazing if you don’t first imagine and design it to be that way?
Work on these steps to harness the law of attraction:
- Clarify your financial goals. What do you want out of life?
- Envision yourself accomplishing your goals and living an abundant life.
- Align your daily actions with your financial dreams.
Visualize Your Prosperity
Regularly picture what success looks like for you. How does it feel to achieve your financial goals? What does the rest of your life look like (health, family, etc.)?
Make as clear a picture as possible in your head. You can do this with photos, drawings, and quotes too.

Meditate for Financial Abundance
Regular meditation can help you uncover limiting beliefs and emotional blockages. Set aside 10 minutes in your day to sit quietly.
You can also use your meditation to visualize your financial goals and be grateful.
Remember, the more you practice these techniques, the more they’ll become part of your routine, setting you on the path to financial freedom.
Practical Steps Towards Financial Abundance
Financial abundance is achievable through careful planning and consistent effort. In this section, you’ll learn more practical actions for a life of prosperity.
Kick Bad Debt to the Curb
Dealing with debt is an important step in your journey to financial abundance. Create a debt repayment plan that prioritizes your debt and aims to pay it off as quickly as possible.
Focus on one debt at a time and always pay at least the minimum amount required for each of them.
Improve Your Credit
Maintaining good credit gives you better access to opportunities and can save you tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime.
- Pay your bills on time.
- Keep your credit card balances low.
- Avoid applying for too many loans or credit cards.
- Regularly check your credit report and take steps to correct any errors.
Pro Tip: Set up automatic payments to avoid missing bill deadlines.
Build a Shield
An emergency fund is a safety shield that helps you cover unexpected expenses without going into debt. Start by setting aside a small amount each month. Then, gradually work towards an emergency fund goal of three to six months of living expenses.
This money gives you peace of mind and financial stability, making you feel financially abundant.
Pro Tip: Keep your emergency fund in a separate account to avoid mixing it up with regular expenses.
Plan for Later Years
Start by setting clear retirement goals and building a diversified investment portfolio. Contribute to your employer’s 401(k) plan and/or consider opening an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Both take advantage of tax benefits.
The sooner you start, the more time your money has to grow. In 10 years, you’ll be so happy you started now!
