But whatever advantage society tries to give you, it can never be facilitated without MONEY. Somebody somewhere is paying the cost. So you will miss out. The state can help to an extent.

Choosing to Win or Lose with Money Can you choose to win or lose with money? Who would choose to lose money? Surely that's something everyone avoids? Well, yes and no. We all accept that somethings must be consumed and paid for and the gain or benefit isn't always immediately obvious, for example - when we eat to maintain our health or body. But at other times we also accept that there are risks in the choices we make which will have a potential or possible outcome - a degree of uncertainty. When you make a choice involving potential outcomes, we are taking a risk. Big or small - it's a risk. Well, only you can decide what degree of risk and certainty you want in your financial life. Choosing to invest in education without a definite outcome, is a risk. It's a gamble on your own potential with an element of venturing into the unknown. We become our own fortune-tellers, creating a story in our own minds to guide our unconscious minds into a new arena. How persuasive we are at creating a convincing story, is dependent on how fertile and receptive our unconscious and conscious minds are. Choosing to increase the odds of winning, means taking responsibilty for managing the variable factors which affect how we earn money, spend it, manage it and grow it and how much we are prepared to lose along the way. So where do you start? Well, only you can decide what degree of risk and certainty you want in your financial life. But either way, accepting as much responsibilty as your capable of handling, will allow you to pursue your potential in every area of your life.
