Is it Bad to Make Money?- A Lesson From Science of Getting Rich

Wed, Apr 28, 2010

Entrepreneur Mindset, Personal Developmet

I was inspired to do this video after reading the book Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles.

What are your beliefs about money? Did you grow up in an environment which made you think that having money is not good, rich people have done something wrong to get rich.

Most of the time from the books we read, movies we watch, media or even from our parents we get this opinion that being rich or making money is bad.

Here is my take on this question…

    Great post. Money by itself is not considered bad as it actually is used to attain necessities or be used for good purposes. It is the love of money where the passion or greed can turn one towards an unfavorably selfish direction.

    Hi Damayanthi,
    You have picked a very important topic for this post. Despite the cultural pressure to make tons of money, talking about money and our relationship to it still remains taboo in many homes. And therein lies the problem. As parents, we have a responsibility to model effective money managing habits as well as talk openly about what money is: a tool for getting things done in life. Wallace Wattles book has stayed the test of time because he hits a nerve with his readers and makes us all reflect on our own relationship to currency. Thank you for sharing your views on this very important subject!
