Money Myths: Busting the lies you believe

~ Thread ~

1. Wealth Building is mostly luck.

"I was born poor, So I can't die rich,

Millionaires just inherit their wealth"

Remember, 80% millionaires are first-generation millionaires.
2. Banks are your saviors

Banks are not there to protect your money,

Rather they lend your money to make more money.

Bank is a business model for them, not a service for you.
3. Investing in markets is too risky

$SPX price raised by 4,000% since 1980.

In long run, Stock market is money-making machine.

Don't be afraid to invest, afraid to money eaten up by inflation.
4. Looking rich will make you rich

What's the use of a Lambo purchased on debt to look rich?

Looking rich will make you poor from inside.

Only spend what you can afford comfortably.
5. Savings will help you retire rich

By the time you will retire,

Inflation would have eaten up half of your money's worth.

Invest your money to beat inflation.
6. More degrees means more wealth

Find demanding future skills and pursue expertise for them,

Else more degrees simply means more debt.

Quality >>> Quantity
7. All debts are bad

Though carrying a debt may feel bad psychologically,

But certain debts like mortgages can help you move forward in life.

While taking debt, make sure to have low interests
8. Showing-off sets your standards in society

No one admires you for being wealthy

It creates jealousy, hate among people for you

You only bring troubles for yourself by showing off
9. You don't need financial planning

"I don't desire to be a millionaire, why should I care about finances"

Only way to escape the 9-5 cage is managing your finances well and retire young.

At the darkest days of the abuse I was being subjected to I decided to attend a conference for women in Los Angeles. I convinced my mother in law to pay for it because I couldn’t afford it. @ChristineCaine was preaching. I was desperate...

I wanted to die, I didn’t see a way out and I had tried everything. I imagined many ways to die daily. The most recurring one was throwing my car down a bridge I had to drive over every day. I never did it because my kids were in the car and I was afraid one of them would...

Christine spoke about honoring your pastors even when they weren’t great, she spoke of us expecting too much of pastors and how wrong that was. She said God would use our testimony if we submitted to our pastors.

She said “honor your pastors, God will honor you.” She said more about having disagreed with her pastors but she submitted and God honored her and now she’s blessed. How if they are faithfully serving God, we need to support them and not forfeit what God has for us.

I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I got up and went to the bathroom because I couldn’t breath and I felt like I was going to faint if I didn’t scream. I now know I was having a panic attack. I sat on the toilet w/my head between my legs, breathed and wept..

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
