PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING8 COMMON FALSE ASSUMPTIONS Myth #1 – everything in life would be wonderful if only I had more money coming in. Reality – more money coming in is usually accompanied by more money going out. Myth #2 – going into debt now give some choices now instead of having to wait. Reality – going into debt decreases future options.
9
PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING9 Common False Assumptions contd Myth #3 – my present financial situation is a result of circumstances and events beyond my control. Reality – my present financial situation is a result of decisions I have made and the money principles I believe. Myth #4 – having a good job leads ultimately to wealth. Reality – a job is a temporary source of income. To be wealthy, we need permanent sources of income. A job may turn out to be merely a method of generating cash flow for supporting an expensive and unsustainable standard of living unless you take steps to acquire or create sources of income which flow to you regardless of your job.. Myth #5 – wealth is measured in material possessions. Reality – wealth is a state of the mind – an attitude. Myth #6 – if you are rich, you cannot be spiritual. Reality – there are honest ways to create wealth.
10
PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING10 Common False Assumptions contd Myth #7 – all I need to be happy is money. Reality – money can buy happiness, but up to a point. And then the process comes to a standstill or reverses itself. Myth #8 – my financial well being is defined by either how much money I have or how much I earn. Reality – financial well being has to do with how much you keep of what you earn, how well you manage what you have and how soundly you sleep at night. Myth #9 – I spend according to my needs. Reality – most people spend according to emotion (wants). Myth #10 – you have to have money to make money. Reality – while inheritance wealth might give you a head start, there are many rich people who make their own fortunes
