We all need money so we can pay the rent, pay the bills, pay our children's tuition fee, buy our clothes and of course put food on the table. The need is real and without adequate finances things can get very uncomfortable. Lack of money equals pain and having money equals pleasure. Is in any wonder that it is almost impossible to avoid forming an emotional attachment with that worthless printed paper? What happens to our emotional stability when the economy is floundering and personal assets start evaporating? Our sense of security can easily turn into panic and leave us wondering how in the world we are going to cope. That's a lot of leverage for paper with no intrinsic value. That's how money affects ourlives!
