Words of wisdom to change your perspective
Do you say to yourself, “If I just had more money, my life would be so much better?”
Many people have a love-hate relationship when it comes to money. Some look at money as the be-all and end-all, constantly chasing and seeking more of it. Others see money as the enemy, spending more than they make and ignoring the debt that continues to pile up.
Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, if you let money control your life you will never be happy.
The secret to creating a healthy relationship with money, like any good relationship, is creating the right mindset and attitude.
