It's good that you recognize that.

I was much the same. My H is much more of a laissez-faire money manager, I was always afraid we'd end up in the "poorhouse" which no longer exist. So I put a lot of pressure on us due to my fear and my attachment to money and material things. I wasn't extravagant at all but I put all that before my family.

How are you going to use your knowledge going forward?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
