Most people believe the biggest obstacle to financial freedom is a lack of money. They think if they just earned more, or picked the right stock, or caught a lucky break, everything would change. That belief is wrong. The single biggest threat to your financial well-being is not the economy, not the government, not your boss, and not your salary. It is your own brain.
