Canadians don't believe they can be millionaires: survey
This piece in yesterday's StarPhoenix evoked several responses from me. First of all I don't know why anyone would be surprised that the majority of Canadians don't believe they can be millionaires. Societally we are taught, in Canada, to be humble; work hard; pay your dues; be grateful for what you have; don't expect more. With this mentality, and please don't get me wrong, I don't think its bad to be humble, it's easy to understand why we as a nation would feel that prosperity is an impossibility.
My second thought was the deep lack of understanding that we as a generation have of how money really works and how to make it work for you. A subject I've spent the better part of the last year learning about.
If only I had known in my 20's what I've now learned in my 30's....but at least I'm now on the right track.
