Money Secret No. 3 There are Two Kind of Money Problems!

Problem No. 1 Too Little Money

Problem No. 2 Too Much Money

Which one do you have?

Every country, company, state, organisation, government,society and person has money problems. And make no mistake, they are big problems!

What determines if you become rich or not has to do with how well you manage your money problems.

Is your money problem bigger then you or are you bigger then your money problem?

Money Secret No. 2 Money Does Not Make You Rich!

I know of a doctor who makes at least $150,000 a year. Does he make a lot of money? Yes!

But his expenses is $200,000 a year! Is he rich? No!

He is making a lot of money but he still thinks like a poor person. How much you make has nothing to do with if you are rich or not. It how you manage you money. If you treat money with respect and manage it well, money will take care of you. If you abuse it, money will hurt you.

The rich never make it a point to work for money. Their aim is to acquire assets that put money into their pockets weather they work or not work.

Money Secret No. 1 Money is an Idea!

It is what ever your think it is. If your experience is that of poor people, then that your idea. Money is scarce and your have to work hard to get it. That your reality. But on the other hand if your come from a business background where you see money every where and have the knowledge of how to manage and handle money, that is your reality. The only difference between these two groups of people(the haves and the have not) is education that forms their reality.

4 topics your don't talk at dinner; sex, politics, religion and money. Is it any wonder that very little to nothing is known about the subject of money.

Money only makes you more of what you are. If you are a jerk, then your are a bigger jerk with money. If you are a charitable person, then your are a philanthropic and gives back to society what it has given to you.

What are your idea about money. Where did it come from.

When I realized this secret, I began to write down all my thoughts on the subject of money. I was shocked to discover that my believes were direct opposites to my desire to have a good life. My reality did not tally with what I desired. For instance, I believed that all rich people are dishonest and greedy. But ask yourself this question. When was the last time your gave in charity and how much? The answer humbled me after I discovered that the rich give as much as they make. That when I discovered the secret of attraction. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction! That means, if you do good, good will come to you. If you do bad, bad will come to you.

What Do You Know About MONEY?

I remember when I started working and the excitement to be independent was all I could think about. All kinds of plans and dreams running through my mind. Luckly I had only one dream ; that was to own my own property. The plan was to work my butt of for 5 years and I could save enough for a down payment and be eligible for housing loan. Everything worked out as planed.

I moved in the 800 square feet apartment on a Friday and I could not believe the number of furniture that we had to move. It seemed like we were moving a country. After long we settled down, my parents, my sister and me.

My was feeling uneasy, being a new house owner. I was not worried about the home but about the finance part. I started to think how long after would I have to work before I can truly call myself a free man and determine my destiny. Looking at the amount I owed, I calculated I had to work for the rest of my life to pay for the house. That was a shocking thought and I was beginning to feel like was being buried alive.

I started to wonder how people lived their lives and managed to seem normal. What I discovered was utterly suprising and made me feel like a fish out of water. I realized, everything I know about money was handed down by people around me who were not doing well themselves and knew nothing about.

This where my journey began. It is my story of my coming of age and growth on the topic of money. Mind you, I come from a family of teachers, musicians and scholars. Intelligent in every way but not on the subject of money.

It is my hope that this blog will help shed some light on this most fascinating topic that I am sure occupies most of the thoughts in our waking hours.
