This resistance would lead to one being hesitant on even spending on necessities. One is afraid of losing money and the thought of being powerless if broke. It may result in failure to cater for own bills and fail to save.
- The taboo of money. The belief that one should not talk about money leads to it benefiting only the people who already have it.
- Withdrawing from activities. So, this extreme fear of losing may push you to a level of not wanting or not enjoying things and activities that once felt pleasant. For instance swimming, riding, skating, and racing.
- One refuses to touch. Also one may fail to accept touching money with the notion that it is dirty.
- Eager to count money severally. You may find yourself checking your account balance, and requesting statements to confirm your spending habits. Which is normal. However, if you find self-checking and rechecking the cash in your pocket severally, this may be chrometophobia.

- Be attentive but not obsessed.
- First, learn what you plan to invest in, and understand.
- Start from a level you can manage to comfortably invest and lay clear goals of what you want to achieve.
- Avoid moving your money in all directions whenever there is a change in the market. By when prices are reasonable for you to make a profit.
