I was born into debt. Then, I was forced to go to schools that taught obedience to authority, getting a job, and paying taxes. Then, I saw ads that told me I needed to buy products and run up debt. Then, I eventually didn't care about money except where absolutely necessary.

Everything in between made it seem like making money my No. 1 focus was necessary, though. A lifetime of being manipulated and pressured. It all gets better when you can finally pull back the curtain seeing what's really there. :)
