This course is about understanding the concepts of money, currency, and wealth and why we do not have enough money to spend for everything that we desire and/or future life events. It challenges preconceived notions about money and wealth.
If money is considered to be given more value than you then it may be given more power than it deserves. By placing a certain value on ourselves based on money alone creates a mindset that only certain people are worthy of having it. This is the root of many money issues. Money in and of itself is not evil. It is not good either. It is neutral. The value that it has is what we give it. In this course you will learn how the value of the U.S. dollar has changed throughout history. Understanding this places you in a position of power to determine the value you give it in your life.
