Money Loves to Move: Lessons from My Grandmother

I was raised by a rich grandmother, and from early childhood I was aware of it. Not in the sense of flashy wealth, but in the sense of security and abundance. That awareness changed my entire perspective on money.

Unlike many children who grow up hearing that “money is scarce” or that “money is the root of all evil,” my grandmother exposed me to money as a friend, as a tool, and as something that flows. She didn’t shield me from the responsibility of managing it either.

As a teenager, I was encouraged to start small businesses. My grandmother would loan me money but she always made sure I paid it back. Those lessons planted deep roots: discipline, respect for value exchange, and confidence that I could create and multiply resources.

From her, I learned truths I still carry today:

I know I will always have.

I know money loves me.

I know money is attracted to me.

I know God blesses the work of my hands.

I know lack is temporary.

All my foundational money lessons were taught as a child, and they have shaped my life. I don’t fear having money, and I don’t fear spending it. I know it will always come back, often in multiples, because money loves to move.

Her legacy wasn’t just wealth it was a mindset of abundance. And that has been my greatest inheritance.
