Beware of lies about money
Money Myth 1
Money Is Evil
Huh? How absurd and yet people actually believe something that can feed starving people, clothe them and put a roof over their head could possibly be evil, but they do.
How can this happen? It's only money, it's only paper designed to make barter easy and lives simpler. The thing is emotions have gotten involved and created a tide against wealth accumulation as to label the acquisition of wealth wrong.
Jealousy, anger, resentment, fear and hurt surround many people, however these emotional attachments to money are unfair, after all cash is just an inanimate object - Right?.
Well there is no simple solution, but what we can tell you is that although money can't buy you happiness, it can prevent a lot of misery.
Not having money can be a huge burden, so seeking to lift that burden must surely be good not evil.
Wanting to have nice things in a nice home is fine and who is to say that increasing your security and comfortability could ever be the wrong thing to do. Emotionally charged money myths seek to cover truth with negative emotional deceptions.
The biggest negativity surrounding money is the human suffering that occurs in the pursuit of the almighty dollar, but this isn't the sin of your average hard working Mom and Dad wishing to build a better life.
Some people may neglect their family and get obsessed with trying to pursue money at the expense of family time. These obsessive people would have found something to take up their time anyway and at least they provide security to their loved ones.
The solution is to understand that it's fine to want money and even better if you take active steps to go after what you want.
The only thing you need to consider is making your pursuit a balanced one and to ensure you don't neglect the most important things in life for the sake of a new car. Don't let negative money myths deter you from success but at the same time seek balance.
