# My money tree and I went on the same journey this year! And she’s…

_Posted by Beatrice on 2023-08-12_

My money tree and I went on the same journey this year! And she’s brought me so much good luck✨

My money tree was so infected with thrips in February/March that I chopped every branch but one (4/5) in hopes of saving her. I don’t know how she bounced back so quickly tbh. She’s thriving enough to grow a side branch lower towards the base!  
Meanwhile in March, my boyfriend and I took the mcat and got into the same medical school a few weeks ago! I felt just like my money tree, chopped back to one strong branch to grow from when studying for the mcat, applying, and getting accepted. It’s kind of cheesy but it’s oddly parallel for us as we’ve been through the last 4 years together :)

psa money trees make great gifts because it’s bad luck to buy your own!

It’s kind of silly to believe in a plant bringing you good luck… but if you believe it you make the magic of the legend come true :)

Well I don’t believe in good luck. I believe in Gods blessings.
