Most people struggle financially because they take advice from sales people, not rich people.

Because students leave school without financial skills, millions of educated people pursue their profession successfully, but later find themselves, struggling financially.

I find so many people struggling, often working harder, simply because they cling to old ideas. They want things to be the way they were; they resist change. I know people who are losing their jobs or their houses, and they blame technology or the economy or their boss. Sadly they fail to realize that they might be the problem. Old ideas are their biggest liability. It is a liability simply because they fail to realize that while that idea or way of doing something was an asset yesterday, yesterday is gone.

The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich.

The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money...but never learn to have money work for them.
