Terrific post today at Ask the Advisor. Entitled “Top 25 Personal Finance Myths,” I LOVE the first two:
- I don’t deserve to rich.
- Rich people are scum.
– I’m NOT saying that you DESERVE to be rich, but you are absolutly, imphatically entitled to PURSUE the work, life and money you want. You have just as much right to it as anyone else.
– Scummy people who are rich are scum. Terrific and generous wealthy people are terrific and generous – and they help tons of people in the process.
I also have to add that in most cases, wealth is only gained from helping people. Of course there are crooks and unscrupulous cheats, but that’s not the norm. Pure and simple, money is an exchange tool.
Check out the list and let me know your thoughts.
