Why The Principles Of Money Are Not Taught In School

The 4 Biggest Reasons Why The Principles Of Money Are Not Taught In School

10/7/07

1.) If everyone knew the principles of money, education would be forced to let go of its biggest lie-that you have to go to school to be successful. That lie could be the most successful PR job in the history of advertising. People have continued to believe it despite OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary. Nobody has EVER proved that there is a direct correlation between formal education and success.

2.) If people knew the principles of money, schools could no longer use fear tactics to motivate students to study and memorize irrelevant, boring subjects.

3.) Businesses of the world would lose their cheap labor. If everybody understood money they could easily make all they wanted or needed without ever becoming an employee There would no longer be any paycheck slaves (check chasers), and the companies that depend on them would have to shut down.

4.) The educational system honestly does not know about the principles of money.

There are SEVERAL hard facts to back up claims about how our ignorance of money affects our financial futures.

-According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, only 4 out of 100 people in the U.S. reach financial independence.

-Out of every 100 people who start careers, at age 65: 25% are dead; 20% have incomes below the poverty level; and 51% have incomes above the poverty level, but below $35,000 annually. Of that 51%, most would be described as:

a.) struggling financially but too embarrassed to ask for help

b.) receiving extra support from their families

c.) dependent on government support

The success of our educational system can not be measured in terms of our academic standing on the day of graduation, but we must measure it according to how it serves us for our lifetimes. The habits that you need to learn to become a millionaire are no more complex than the rules for playing Monopoly.
