For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Most people have very mixed ideas about money, some positive, but most negative. We get these ideas from our families, friends, society in general and even the government. Some of the negative ideas can be summed up in the phrases we use (and hear), time and time again, such as �Money doesn�t grow on trees�, �We could never afford anything like that�, �People from round here never make anything of themselves�, �Money can�t buy you happiness�, etc, etc.
These phrases perpetuate the belief that money is a bad thing, a difficult thing to acquire, a corrupting influence, the root of unhappiness and discord, and so on. As long as you let these thoughts fester in your mind, your predominant beliefs about money will remain negative, and you will find it difficult to become rich.
Being rich is not a bad thing. Money is not a bad thing. Look around you. Many of the good things in the world (apart from the natural world, obviously) are there as a result of money, or the proper use of money. Next time you hear anyone tell you something negative about money, ask him to go and live without it for six months, see how he gets on.
From now on, look on money as a positive thing. Look forward to earning money, making money, winning money, attracting money. And, since you�re still at school, start a savings plan right now, even if it�s only a pound or two a week, and let it grow and grow. When you�re as old as some of us on AB, you�ll be a very wealthy person indeed, and glad you did what most people never really get round to � making a plan to get rich and sticking to it, come what may.
Good luck with the debate!
