Is this you?
When it comes to money, if you prioritize security, stability, and careful planning, and nothing feels as good as knowing you are safe and protected, then you are likely a “Safe Harbor” money personality type. These lovely women value all kinds of “safe harbors”—from a stable home to secure employment. These are grounded women who often enjoy managing their money, as they derive peace of mind from knowing it is taken care of.
We all carry within us four different energy patterns around money— these patterns come together to form our money personality. And it is the energy of the Safe Harbor pattern that says money’s highest use is to keep us secure and protected, both now and in the future.
Safe Harbor personalities see money as a means of protection and defense against life’s hazards, and this gives them great peace of mind. Money is a shield against danger, like a harbor that shelters us from a storm, as well as from large expenses like expensive roof repairs that threaten your peace of mind. Knowing that the future is taken of is huge. (And Safe Harbor personalities often point out that they are trying to secure their future freedom.)
Safe Harbor women are solid, looking out for both themselves and those around them. They place a high value on safety and tend to be highly insured. And they are likely to have a lot of financial and emotional security tied up in their home. It’s also common that these women enjoy jobs that have a steady schedule and a steady paycheck.
So, what is the downside of this type of money energy? Safe Harbor personalities tend to be fairly risk-adverse, and this has various impacts. For example, asking for raises can be stressful, so sometimes Safe Harbor personalities opt to say nothing and have a tendency towards “underearning”. And Safe Harbor personalities may not be properly invested in their retirement funds, holding too much in cash, which they deem “safe”.
Sometimes this personality type doesn’t spend quite enough money on their own self-care, opting to scrimp and save instead. At an extreme, they can withdraw inward, and not enjoy life enough, deeming it too expensive or risky.
But the plus side to this personality type is wonderful. These women avoid debt and do focus on taking care of their futures. They do not ignore retirement planning and try to live in balance. They know they want to protect their future as well as their present. Their money energy simply must be balanced with the three other energy patterns of money—Liberty energy, Mission Driver and Aid Worker energy.
