illustrate　the　flaw　in　the　thinking　of　so　many　people。　The　flaw　is　that　money　will　solve　all　problems。　That　is　why　I　cringe　whenever　1　hear　people　ask　me　how　to　get　rich　quicker。 Or　where　do　they　start？　I　often　hear；　〃I'm　in　debt　so　I　need　lo　make　more　money。〃

But　more　money　will　often　not　solve　the　problem；　in　fact；　it　may　actually　accelerate　the　problem。　Money　often　makes　obvious　our　tragic　human　flaws。 Money　often　puts　a　spotlight　on　what　we　do　not　know。　That　is　why；　all　too　often；　a　person　who　es　into　a　sudden　windfall　of　cash…let's　say　an　inheritance；　a　pay　raise　or　lottery　winnings…soon　returns　to　the　same　financial　mess；　if　not　worse　than　the　mess　they　were　in　before　they　received　the　money。 Money　only　accentuates　the　cash　flow　pattern　running　in　your　head。 If　your　pattern　is　to　spend　everything　you　get；　most　likely　an　increase　in　cash　will　just　result　in　an　increase　in　spending。　Thus；　the　saying；　〃A　fool　and　his　money　is　one　big　party；〃　I　have　said　many　times　that　we　go　to　school　to　gain　scholastic　skills　and　professional　skills；　both　important。　We　learn　to　make　money　with　our　professional　skills。　In　the　1960s；　when　I　was　in　high　school；　if　someone　did　well　in　school　academically；　almost　immediately　people　assumed　this　bright　student　would　go　on　to　be　a　medical　doctor。 Often　no　one　asked　the　child　if　they　wanted　to　be　a　doctor。 It　was　assumed。 It　was　the　profession　with　the　promise　of　the　greatest　financial　reward。
