Have you heard "It’s not the money, it’s the principle of the thing"?
Have you heard that "happiness is more important than wealth"?
Have you wondered if you can be happy and wealthy, too?

We’re going to talk about balancing wealth and happiness.
More than 100 years ago, philosopher Henry David Thoreau wrote:
"Wealth is the ability to fully experience life."

We should build wealth for the right reasons.
Ask yourself: "Why do I want to become wealthy?
"When I become wealthy, what will I do with my wealth?"

It’s not the wealth but what becomes of you in acquiring it.
Your answers will help determine what you become.
