The principles of money

1. Money Should Be Saved

Unexpected events happen to everyone. You must be prepared to weather times of drought.   Save, but don’t hoard.  Save for 12 months of expenses and no more.

2. Money Gives to Those in Need

You should be generous with your money.  You can solve most of the world’s problems by donating money to a good cause. It is a great problem solver.  

3. Money Has Limits

Money has parameters on what it can buy. It can’t buy you peace of mind. You will never be able to buy yourself happy, whole, or loved.

4. Money Must Be Earned 

You must learn a skill to earn money.  It doesn’t just fall from the sky.  Money comes to those who work for it.

5. Money is a Multiplier

It amplifies who you are.  It will expose every piece of you that you have hidden.  Don’t depend on it to change who you are.

6. Money Has No Morals

7. Money Has No Boundaries

It is up to you to set limits.  The unchecked pursuit of money has destroyed families, communities, and nations.

9. Money is a Great Listener

Without question, it will do whatever you tell it to do.  Be sure you are advising it for good.

10. Money Never Really Belongs to You

It will never stay with you.  You are giving most of it away now and will give the last of it when you die.  It is never really yours.  It is an allusion of power and control.
