Before we start on this incredible journey from being a prisoner of money to the attainment of financial freedom, I want to clear one misconception which has taken root deep in most people – that money can solve all our problems. I regret to say that money cannot and will never be able to solve your problems. It is not a lack of money which is the problem- it is the lack of knowledge about money and how it works which is the real problem.If you are poor and believe that sudden riches, say lottery winnings, will solve your problem- then you are grossly mistaken. In fact, that will put you into deeper problems if you don’t have the right knowledge about money. You will be hounded by all kinds of legal and other financial predators and it is very likely that not only may you lose all your sudden wealth but even end up in debt – broken mentally, financially and emotionally. Therefore, both lack of money and too much money can be a problem if not backed by the right knowledge.
