People are emotional and in it for the money, unfortunately

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Money is a very emotional subject since we were all raised with scarcity. However, when people realize it is a manmade creation, they can understand it is nothing more than a game.

After all, the wealthy truly understood that. Money is not wealth, it is only a means to it.

No they dont. In part, it was the system. We are accustomed to scarcity to such a degree that we make it emotional. Since most confuse wealth with money, they believe money is the goal. It is not. It is just a tool.

After all, like they say, it is just money.

And it never works out well for the average Joe.

Like Buffett said: markets excel at taking money from the impatient and giving it to the patient.
