Money: General

After the need to survive the most pervasive force in the human psyche is the drive to gain power. We want to be in control, we want to be in charge - we want to be powerful. Most people believe money is the means to that end - money is power. Yearning for money is misguided motive. Life is experience, and what we ultimately desire is happiness. Money really isn't what we need.

A frequently-encountered myth of money management is that our bank account balance is a good indicator of our money situation. The true principle is that our bank account balance cannot predict that which we are not prepared for.
