The nature and effect of money has been a running theme in my life since day one. It\u2019s a simple concept. Money is just a medium for exchange. It is more flexible than a barter system. You can buy anything with money. But the reality of this simple idea is anything but simple. Money, as an extension of ourselves, reflects how we see ourselves and others. Money ruins some relationships and solidifies others. Money, whether the lack of it or the abundance of it, effects us deeply as individuals, within relationships, and across humanity.

In upcoming writings, I want to explore this complexity with you. We will begin with the role money plays in your personal life, whether you lack it, have just enough, or more than enough. Then we will explore the effect of money on our relationships. Lastly, but certainly not least, we will explore the nature and effect of money on the world scale across communities and humanity as a whole. I want to emphasize that this is all from my own unique perspective, and a bit of research. This is only my opinion, based on my own life experience, and observations of the people around me and humanity at large. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My intention is to bring you face to face with your own thoughts, habits and baggage around money. If you can see your relationship with money plainly, you can decide if it is a healthy one for you, and what, if anything to do about it.\u00a0
This is not about how to get rich, although you may use these principles to build a better relationship with money, ultimately possibly leading to wealth. Or you may decide to give your wealth away. There will be tips and ideas that worked for me scattered throughout.\u00a0

It\u2019s about recognizing the nature and effect of money on us at a personal level, on our relationships and on humanity at large both good and bad. From there, you can draw your own conclusions as may fit your own unique situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
