Let's face the facts: Money and wealth should not be the sole focus of our lives. Anyone who lives only by the digits in their bank account is not happy, and having money is not the same as having happiness. But the reality is money dictates almost every option in our lives - from where we live, what we drive, the vacations we take our families on, and even where we send our kids to school. The truth is: Money rules our day to day lives. So, this is an audiobook about money.
