Your Bank Account Has Trust Issues

(And honestly? It might be your fault.)

Ever opened your banking app and flinched?

Like it's about to yell at you?

Like your money is mad at you?

That’s not just your imagination. That’s a relationship built on broken trust.

🧠 The Reframe:

Your bank account is not a balance. It's a belief system.

If you only check it when you're scared...
If you only interact with it when something's wrong...
If you ghost it for weeks and hope it magically got better...

Then yeah, it's gonna have trust issues.

Because here's the thing:
Every time you avoid your money, your money learns you're not safe with it.🫣

And the longer that goes on, the scarier it gets to look.

Not because of the number.
But because of the shame.

💥 The Move:

Give your bank account a weekly check-in.

No panic. No spreadsheets. No fixing.

Just a five-minute Friday ritual.

  • Open the app

  • Say “Hey, I see you.”

  • Look at your spending

  • Give yourself one win 🏆(even if it’s “I didn’t order sushi twice”)

  • Close it. Walk away. Like a boss.

You're not there to punish yourself.
You're there to build trust.

Your bank account doesn’t want perfection.
It wants consistency.🔁

Know someone who’s scared to check their account? Forward this with:
“Hey. You’re not alone. But you are in charge.”🐷
