Doing Money Right
Doing money right is not a core competency for most people. This is either a baffling irony or a natural consequence of a materialistic culture. People feel stupid about money, so they keep it at arm’s length, sometimes for decades. People may be OK when it comes to earning money and quite adept at spending it, but a great many of them confess to feeling clumsy, myopic, and highly inept when it comes to managing it.
