Rethinking Your Past

“While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.” –Ronald Regan

Your past is not a reflection of the future. Let me explain. I grew up in a blue-collar working class family. My mom raised me as a single mother who was on disability from the time I was 8. She is a very loving mom and I love her with all my heart so for that I am so grateful. Unfortunately anytime I heard about money it was always negative, there was never enough, it only created arguments and anything I ever learned about money I had to learn on my own. I made a decision when I was very young to never let the lack of money affect my life and it hasn’t. Luckily for me I read somewhere at an early age that most millionaires are self-made, 80% to be exact. Most of us grow up believing that you have to inherit wealth to be wealthy. We tend to claim excuses such as well my parents aren’t rich or it takes money to make money. Anyone ever hear that one before? Read more of this post
