MONEY MAKETH THE WORLD GO ROUND. 

We live in a world where money may not be able to buy you love, but it could buy you a whole lot of other things, and we mean A LOT. You need money for everything and most of our lives seem to revolve around making money and spending it.

MYTH: HIGH INCOME EARNERS ARE RICH
