No offense, but this kind of "positive thinking as financial advice" is extremely pathological. It not only fails to offer any concrete, actionable advice but implicitly blames the subject if they end up poor: "Ah he's poor, he must have been operating from fear, not love." It positions wealth as a signal of moral virtue, not just luck or even skill.

This "positive thinking as financial advice" is the first and most important thing to have a healthy relationship with money. Learn that spending doesn't make one happy has the intended consequence of making building wealth way easier.
