The first step in using money wisely is to understand the true nature of money. Most people think of money in terms of purchasing power. They believe that if they have a lot of money, they will be able to buy whatever they want. But this is not so.

The value of money is determined by its purchasing power, but the amount of money we have determines how much purchasing power we can command.

And while we may desire to have more than enough money to meet our needs, the fact is that it is not how much money you have but how you use it that matters most in determining your level of happiness and success.
