How Heavy Is Your (Money) Baggage?

Money baggage can be thought of as an unconscious set of financial beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that develop as a result of the way we saw money treated in our families while growing up. How heavy is your money baggage? Whether you carry a tiny attaché case of quirks or a full set of finance-phobic steamer trunks, it's a good idea to become conscious of how your early experiences with money influence you today.
