Did you know that, despite the claims we have heard and said, money CAN buy happiness?
Did you realize that the oft sited Dunn and Bradstreet study (often used by Dave Ramsey) that people spend 12 – 18 percent more with plastic than with cash never took place?
This week I am highlighting a great post Money Myths and the Importance of Thinking for Yourself by J. D. Roth at Get Rich Slowly which uncovers these and other money myths. This is not written as an expose’ but a challenge to think for yourself and not believe everything you hear or read. Click the link and read it now. Then come back and check out my other recommendations.
