You are allowed to want financial security without being called materialistic. And yet — so many people, especially women, have been made to feel guilty for it.
The message, spoken or unspoken, was that caring about money meant you cared about the wrong things. That truly passionate people don’t negotiate. That asking for more somehow undermines your integrity or your gratitude.
That narrative has cost a lot of people a lot of money. And it has kept a lot of talented, hardworking professionals underpaid and overextended for years.
Wanting to earn well is not at odds with having values. It is not in conflict with being kind, generous, or purpose-driven. In fact, financial security is often what makes those things sustainable — because a person who is chronically stressed about money has very little left over for the things that matter most to them.
You are not materialistic for wanting to be paid what you’re worth. You are practical. You are clear. And you are building something that lasts.
Have you ever talked yourself out of asking for more because of how it might come across? I’d love to hear your story in the comments.
