Despite seeing my parents declared bankrupt and lost their business, I simply refuse to accept the fact that money is important.
I often come up with some excuses to convince myself I am right. Well, maybe Dad did not have proper money management or maybe of his greed for money. To me, having lots of money is greedy and evil.
There is a saying "Money is the root of evil". I was further proven right when articles about family suing one another for inheritance, business etc appearing in the media.
There was once when I strike a consolation prize in a lottery, my kids began to fell unwell a week later and we need to spend the money to visit a doctor. How ironic! Can't I even have some money to bring my family for a short trip or buy something my kids love? Why must I spend on medical? I was frustrated and angry. It did not occur once but at least thrice when I made a little out of lottery.
From that moment, I said "Enough is enough, I do not want to be rich!! Money cannot bring happiness. Money only bring bad luck! Look what happen to Dad, look what happen to my kids !"
I then shut my mind to be rich and I realised how wrong I am.
