Answer 1

To challenge this common notion that money is not important, I have put together a list of reasons I believe money is important and should be considered an important component of success….

Enables personal freedom
There is no real security in working for someone else. Even if you’re earning a solid six-figure income as a successful leader or salesperson, your freedom is tied to a specific station (perhaps even a specific geographic location). Although I am a firm believer in the power of entrepreneurship, many people can find fulfillment in a traditional job. But freedom will only come when you have a high degree of flexibility because of an established savings and investment plan.

Provides opportunities to give
I have heard that the magic formula for creating wealth is 10 & 10. That’s 10% for saving and another 10% for donating. Others argue for 20 & 10 or 20 & 20. Either way, giving can be a wonderful way to support positive organizations, individuals, and institutions that bring real value to the world. While anyone can give with even a small income, the more you have the easier it is to give.

Enhances material experience
I heard once that “We’re not human beings having a spiritual experience – We’re spiritual beings having a human experience.” The material world around us is vastly abundant. One of the greatest joys in life is directly experiencing the material world through the senses. With sufficient resources, you can enable far more of these experiences than would otherwise be possible.

Expands self image
The whole point of Think & Grow Rich is to challenge your assumptions about your own identity and the identity of the rich. If you open yourself up to acquiring wealth, you open up a new window of identity. You begin to see yourself as one with abundance and prosperity, not lack and poverty. Even the act of accepting money into your life can be a transformative process. When you allow riches into your reality, you recreate your ideas about what it means to be human.

As you can see, I view wealth as an enabler for personal growth and success – not as an end in itself. Plenty of rich people are unhappy. Likewise, plenty of poor people are quite happy. There is no guarantee either way. In the end, financial security will improve your state-of-mind and happiness if created with positive intention.
