Well,in my life,the problem hasn't been so much the money myths,the problem was that my ancestors didn't pass on any education, nor knowledge about money at all! And the schools,they didn't teach you about money at all, either! They concentrated their education on science,history,math,and English! So now we have millions of people on welfare,and people on low incomes,and bad money control,and they know nothing about money or business! Lucky for me,I survived by educating myself about money and business on my own, after I got out of school!
My parents, and their parents had no education about money,they just worked and worked and worked,it would go in one pocket, and out the other,and they never had any money left over!
Yes, I had to learn on my own, and now I advise other people about educating themselves about money! I think it is the most important knowledge of life!
