Makes the World Go Round

What is your money consciousness? Mine's probably better now than it ever has been. How ironic.
When I was a kid, my folks went into bankruptcy. I had no idea what that really meant, but it sounded bad. My dad had to close his stereo store. He got a job back in the town we had left only a year and a half before, and for the first time, my mom had to get a job. It was during a very impressionable time in my life, and I have always worried about money since then. I know I'm not alone, especially now, but I always credit that time with how I frame the money concept in my head.
My hubby, on the other hand, never worries about money. His parents always had it and his dad taught them the value of it and the worthiness of saving. There were never conversations of lack, just stash.
Both our philosophies have worked together to keep us out of that evil credit card debt, urged us to buy used cars rather than lease new cars, and to save, save, save. It isn't near as fun as spend spend spend, but it is smarter. A few years ago I really begged him to use some home equity to buy me a new car, after all, everyone was. He wouldn't do it and now I am so glad for that.
In Religious Science, money is considered abundance. Every year there are 4 weeknight lessons
that cover different worldly aspects in a spiritual way. The one on money always captured a standing room only crowd. Everyone wants to know how to demonstrate abundance. Can it be ours for the asking?
If I took this to a political point of view I would say Republicans say yes, it is ours for the asking (and the work) in the greatest country in the world. And Democrats would say there are always so many poor people in this country, and only government can help these people out of their situations.
What is your money consciousness? Is it your thoughts and actions that create abundance in your own life, or is it the country's responsibility?
