Money Worship is one of the four Money Scripts identified by Dr. Brad Klontz, based on the core belief that money is the solution to all problems and the key to happiness. Individuals with this money script believe that money equals freedom and that more money will always make life better. They often think that financial problems would disappear if they just had more money and may believe that money can solve relationship or personal issues. Common beliefs include "Things would get better if I had more money," "Money would solve all my problems," "I will never be able to afford the things I really want in life," and "Money will give me the opportunities I need to be happy."

This script manifests in behaviors such as working excessive hours chasing higher income, accumulating debt trying to maintain a lifestyle one can't afford, and feeling constant anxiety about not having "enough" money, regardless of how much one actually has. Money Worship can lead to a perpetual sense of financial inadequacy, workaholism, and the false belief that happiness lies just beyond the next income milestone.
