Chrometophobia
The term chrometophobia originates from the Greek words chrimata, meaning money, and phobos, meaning fear. This phobia is also sometimes referred to as chrematophobia.
Someone with this phobia may experience intense fear, anxiety or panic at the sight, smell or touch of physical money or at the thought of spending money. Chrometophobia can be so extreme that it can be difficult for someone to spend money or pay their bills, even if they are in a good financial position.
One of my favorite TV series from the early 2000's is "Monk"
starring Tony Shalhoub , also a favorite, as San Frisco police detective Adrian Monk who now serves as a consultant because of a nervous breakdown due to the murder of his wife. Poor Mr. Monk has 312 phobias including milk, harmonicas, lady bugs and naturally germs.
Happy Phobia Macro Monday!
