When something negative happens to me, I endeavour to see the "blessing in disguise". Because I like the idea that everything happens for a good purpose and has value for me.
It seems to me that the MDE may have shone a light on the limiting belief that was held by your family, and you naturally assumed as being the truth. It may not be true for you, forever
Steve's article about Manifesting Intentions Without Resistance I found very helpful. I am looking forward to surfacing the limitations I have in the way of experiencing greater success, accepting the fears relating to them and opening myself to greater possibility and opportunity.
Another resource I have found very hellpful (no fluff) is Dr Audrey Reed's Money Tool Box for Women. She offers easy to use, simple tools to work towards financial success.

At the moment I am loving working with affirmations to transform the limiting beliefs that I surface for me. I repeat them all first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I know from previous experience that the more I repeat them, the results will show up in due course.
I have a deep conviction that each person who really wants it can achieve their intention, including financial. No matter what their beginnings in life, family beliefs etc. Each one of us is innately more wealthy than we can ever really imagine.
I hope this helps a little.
