You would definitely have heard of the Law of Attraction concept of tithing money for activating the flow of abundance in your life.
What about the concept of spending more to attract abundance?
That’s what I learned without even trying!
When I first moved away from home for my Accountancy Articleship, my parents gave me 1 solid tip.
It was to never scrooge about accommodation & food cost. Even if it cost a little more than my budget because I would be obtaining something that would make me happy.
This tip was followed by the assurance that ‘the money to cover the deficit would come from somewhere’.
I thought this meant they would be my safety net but surprisingly, the money did come from somewhere – always unexpected like a sudden bonus, tax refund or bank interest.
The amount covered my deficit and I didn’t have to turn to the safety net!
Neither my parents nor I had heard of the Law of Attraction. For them, their daughter needed to feel secure and happy in her own home and eat a proper diet.
3 decades later, I realize their tip helped to raise my money set point. Without realizing it, I allowed abundance into my life.
Want to allow Abundance into your Life by spending Money?
Both Creative Visualization and the Law of Attraction, have the concept of putting yourself in the ‘flow of abundance’ to obtain what you desire.
What this means is that when you give away what you have without fear, the Universe gets triggered to replenish your supply of that item with even more.
In essence you raise your energetic set points about that item to allow the Universe to provide you with more.
Changing your mindset programming from one of scarcity to abundance, allows more abundance into your life. This could be anything-money, friends, career opportunities and even love.
Here’s how it worked for me.
Assured that I had a safety net meant that I could look at things differently.
I wanted a kettle within my budget. Then I saw another slightly more expensive one with better features and after sale service.
I stretched my budget and brought home a kettle which incidentally is still working 3 decades later.
Where did the money come from?
My salary slip was adjusted for extra taxes paid the previous month.
My commuting time was a killer AND I had to study after work for my examinations. I stretched my budget and found a furnished place with excellent metro connections for an extra Ten Pounds a week (a fortune at that time).
The money appeared.
I had passed my first professional exams which meant a promotion with pay increment that covered the extra cost plus a little more even after taxes!
My money set point had risen to a higher level and the Universe responded by providing me the best for that new money set point sending me sources of money to cover the expenditure.
I was accepting money for what it really was – a currency to help me get what I really needed. I tapped into the energy of money.
Looking back, the price differential between my budget and what I acquired was not that much. I could have afforded it even if I did not have the ‘safety net’.
Sadly, when we come from a place of scarcity and fear, even a small amount becomes a big deal.
Even now, I give myself an error margin of 5-10% and being practical, do my research properly into all aspects.
The process to raise your setpoint and vibration is quite simple.
Understand your money set points as they are presently for different items that you purchase regularly.
Then see if you can raise your set point for some of those items where you wish you could spend more, say fruit.
Do you buy the cheaper fruits and cringe at the sight of more exotic fruits even though you love them?
Change your attitude and money set point for a few days and buy the exotic fruit.
How do you feel?
I think you’ll notice that somehow the extra bucks are accommodated in your budget. Or new money appears where you did not expect it.
Essentially what you are doing is raising your energy level.
You are sending a message to the Universe that you are ready to raise your money set points and allow abundance into your life.
The other ingredients in this recipe for success is to truly desire the object of your attention. Believe the money will appear and stay focused on your prosperity mindset.
Since then, I’ve discovered more ways to unleash the energy of money which I’m sharing in my short but powerful Kindle book Money Success Secret. Click the preceding link or image below to learn more.
Back to my first foray into tapping into the flow of abundance, I assure you the proof of the pudding lies in the eating or practicing in this case.
How about raising your money set point then letting me know how it went?

You were so lucky to have such wonderful parents to set you with an abundance mindset so early on. Totally agree, it’s been working for me for years.
Thanks for validating the abundance mindset technique,Joyce. Yes, I have been truly blessed to have been brought up by loving parents who believed in their children and were supportive.
Great post and has me thinking to about releasing some clutter and raising my money set point. thank you xx
Awesome Suzie! Maybe you can sell the clutter if it’s in a tangible form. Definitely release energetic and mental clutter and raise your money set point.
Thanks Vatsala, I’m loosening the self-imposed excessive frugality (very slowly, TBH) and your words land in my heart so powerfully. Thank you.
That’s wonderful, Sue. Quite often when we experience a period of liquidity crisis, the mindset continues even after the event that created the self-imposed frugality. Slow steps towards change work best.
I agree with others here who are enthusiastic about this concept Vatsala! Without even realizing it I did something similar when I moved back to the mainland and began searching for a new place to live. I created a very clear image of where I would live and never doubted I would find it. It took me nearly a month, but my new home is so close to that vision it’s amazing. 🙂 I suppose the key is to tap into that energy a little more often. You know, now that I think about it, I could really use a new computer!
We often learn our skills and tools for manifestation when we aren’t trying to Marquita. I love that your new home is very similar to the one you had visualized. Now let’s go for that new computer. 🙂
Vatsala, I love this idea! And see the truth in it. The Universe fills holes so if you make one (in your closet?) it will fill it for you, quite possibly with something better. Great blog.
A good reason for getting rid of clutter so we can make space for things we really desire and can use, Kathleen. Love the closet example. 🙂
Words cannot say how much I LOVED this post, Vatsala! (And aren’t we in sync this week?!) In terms of self-love, this is an expression of your deservingness. I love that your parents planted the seed of this deservingness so many years ago, and I love the examples you shared of those ‘little’ choices that are SO important to our well-being. This is a reminder I needed to hear. Thank you!
We certainly are in sync this week, Reba. 🙂 Between raising money set points and allowing the Universe to do its magic, only good things can happen!
What a wonderful gift – your abundance mindset – to have received from your parents. I was just thinking this week how I am ready to step up into receiving more abundance. Thank you for this wonderful tip! I shall experiment with it and let you know how it goes.
I’m getting the feeling that good things are in store for you in the future, Julia. An important aspect of receiving is to be ready to receive and tap into the flow. I look forward to hearing about your experiment results!
Fascinating! Thank you! I will reconsider the areas in which I tend to splurge and the ones where I monitor.
Sounds good, Denise. Let’s raise your abundance energy!
Thanks Vatsala. Your post made me think twice. There are some things, like food, that I will buy what I want regardless of the price. Yet, in other areas, I do find I hold back. It depends how much I think about it once I’ve passed it up. For instance, if I didn’t buy that piece of clothing, but then I keep thinking about it, that is often an indicator to me that I should go back and make the purchase.
Your parents raised you with a beautiful philosophy on life. Thanks again.
🙂

Thanks, Debra. I like the fact that if you think too much about an object that you have passed up, you know you need to go back and purchase it. Looks like you have managed to tune into your intuition as to which purchase would make you happy and thus raise your money set point as compared to making a purchase on a whim and then wondering if you can return it! Soul-led practicality, I love it!
What a great encouragement to me Vatsala. This year, the word I am activating in my life is providence. In business and life I want to approach opportunities and clients from an internal mindset of having enough.
That is wonderful, Tai! The beauty of being content is that we maintain our vibrations at a level that allows more into our lives helping us to stay content. It is also a great place to be if we are consolidating our lives, whether personal or professional and sets the stage for aiming higher, when the time is right. Thanks for visiting the blog.
