Most of our attitudes towards money were imprinted on us by "significant" people in the early part of our lives, i.e. parents, teachers, etc.
Sad to say but many of these attitudes were quite wrong and account for much of the misery which some people find themselves in.
Money does not solve all your problems but at least you can arrive at your problems in style!
If you want money AND time then you have to get "leverage". John Paul Getty (once the richest man in the world) said "I'd rather have 1% of one hundred's people efforts than 100% of my own!".
An example of "leverage" is having a considerable sum of money and investing it and living off the interest. Unfortunately, most people don't have the money to invest!
However, businesses do exist which work via "leverage".
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that I would never be rich working for someone else!
