Lies Destroy Money
Always remember that, no matter how good any financial situation may look at the moment, if it is not grounded in the truth, the foundation it has been built upon will eventually crumble. Lies destroy money, and truth creates it. … If you lie about who you are with your money, you will tend to spend more than you have, buy a house without knowing whether you can afford it, act on impulse rather than rational knowledge, and take tragic actions with your own money that could easily destroy your own financial life.
