The bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. That's why so many people don't save and invest.

I could use it as a weapon to destroy things or money can create-you can create an opportunity, you can create a charity, you can create things for your family, you can go do something for your family that nobody else would ever do. You can create educational opportunities, you can feed people overseas. And there's a tremendous leverage with money, or you can destroy people with it.”
