Money Magic:
The Keys To Mastering Your Money

Money isn’t everything... but it ranks right up there with oxygen.

Rita Davenport

is a becomes anything more than a thought. Our lives are geared toward improving our financial
great situations, and most of us spend an inordinate amount of time each day in the pursuit of
day earning a living.
It’s sad that people who work to earn money their whole lives so often end up
with little or nothing to show for their efforts. People spend time each day thinking about
debts and bank balances, worrying about what they owe, and dreaming about what they
would like to own. Unfortunately, most of us have little idea of the precise condition of
our current financial position. You will, perhaps, find this chapter to be one of the most
important, practical, and immediately-felt lessons in the entire book.

“Most people, in their drive to get rich, are trying to build an
Empire State Building on a six-inch slab.” *

Financial planning is crucial. It’s vitally important because, in many cases, not
even the men and women behind the most profitable companies in the world are successful
money managers. Managing your money well means Mastering Money.

and sloppy record keeping. When tax time comes, or you need to convince someone of
your financial situation, it is embarrassing to look through drawers, shoe boxes and other
assorted storage areas.
