The Myths of Money That You Must Remove From Your Mind

Most people misunderstand money. They believe false inventions, myths, and misinterpretations that were passed on to them by others who were lied to. In today's book-of-the-day, "[Lessons of History]( Will Durant brings clarity when he explains how money and economics are at the root of all that we do (and will probably remain the root of human action for the conceivable future). Durant writes: “History, according to Karl Marx, is economics in action—the contest, among individuals, groups, classes, and states, for food, fuel, materials, and economic power. Political forms, religious institutions, cultural creations, are all rooted in economic realities. So the Industrial Revolution brought with it democracy, feminism, birth control, socialism, the decline of religion, the loosening of morals..." You see everything that happened to you in life: Where you were born... Who you were born to... The advantages and the disadvantages of your upbringing – they should not be just understood as a random fate or genetics. These must be understood as financial factors that affected who you are today and who you will be tomorrow. Open your eyes and use this new lens of understanding to debunk the myths that blind those around you. As Alan Nation, my second mentor told me, "Before you can change anything you have to understand why it is like it is." Before you can make more money you have to understand how money and economics have affected history. So pick up some books about finances – both self-help books and more abstract books about money. Brush up on your arithmetic and math skills. Math is the language of money. Don't be like people who say, "I'm not a numbers person." That's a disabling belief. You can get pretty decent with finance and numbers even if it doesn't come naturally. Learning to do these little things offers you a huge reward. Financial independence, prosperity, and maybe even wealth. Never fall for the trap of oversimplifying the subject of money. Money is not evil. But it is a powerful tool. And all powerful tools are dangerous when wielded by fools. Don't be a fool with your money and you should be just fine. Understand with clarity and without delusion the far-reaching effects that money has had in history and will continue to have in your life on a day-to-day basis.
