Money is not taught in schools. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills. This explains how smart bankers, doctors and accountants who earned excellent grades in school may still struggle financially all of their lives. I often look ahead to the new millennium and wonder what will happen when we have millions of people who will need financial and medical assistance. They will be dependent on their families or the government for financial support. What will happen when Medicare and Social Security run out of money? How will a nation survive if teaching children about money continues to be left to parents- most of whom will be, or already are poor? The saying "I can’t afford it,” would automatically stops your brain from working But by asking the question "How can I afford it?” your brain starts putting to work. remember that Your mind is the most powerful computer in the world, the more you exercise it, the more it gets stronger every day. I believe that automatically saying "I can’t afford it” was a sign of mental laziness.
