Clients Often Follow 'Money Scripts' They Learn As Children

FYI: The lessons about money that your clients learned in childhood can haunt or help them years later, according to Molly Ward, a financial advisor who serves on the Elite Producer Group board at AXA Advisors.

One client makes $150,000 a year, spends $175,000, and is desperately unhappy about his financial satiation. Another makes $90,000 a year, spends $75,000 and is content. What drives these clients is called “money scripts—patterns that were developed in childhood and now drive the client’s behavior, Ward said in a recent interview with Financial Advisor magazine.
