For most people, money (or the lack of it) is a challenge and a source of significant distress. Everyone works for it, but most never have enough. People keep working hard to earn money just so that they can pay the bills and barely get by in life.
Money for most is a tool for survival, just to pay the bills and to buy stuff and simply consume.
However, money can be about so much more. It can be a tool for freedom, a tool for creating choices, impacting change, being able to experience life more fully, pursuing your dreams, fulfilling others dreams and so much more.
However for most people, the only time they think of money is when they have a bill to pay or when they have no money or when it’s an emergency or when they struggle. Money is not high on their priority list, not important enough to make time for it, not important enough to consider wealth creation as a focused vision.
It is all about their mindset. It is about their beliefs and values.

~ Dave Ramsey – Total Money Makeover
And behaviors are deeply driven by your beliefs and your values.
So, the real question is what are the beliefs and values people have about money? Can these beliefs and values be changed? Can people have more money, more time and more happiness all at the same time?
