TIP #35: Have a clear purpose for money.

Most people I know don’t have a clear purpose for money, most rich people do.
You want a million dollar to buy a car? a house? quit your job?
Most people get into the working force and begin making money just to make money, hoping that someday some number of zeros in the savings and checking account will make them happier. They go and work sixty to eighty hours a week just to be unhappy.
Do you want money to travel the world? Help the poorer? Own your home? Have a home in each country in the world? Buy cars? Why do you want money.
Until you discover that, all the money in the world, will just make you as unhappy as no money at all. The only difference may be that you will be eating Caviar and Champagne, and maybe even didn’t even like it.
i.e. Once I work on discover my purpose for money, a lot of things change, for me travel is one of those things, and I hope that soon my wife and I will begin traveling soon. I also want money so I can provide with my kids education without debt. I would love to give them as a graduation present, a zero debt education.
