The Douglas Theories of the 21st Century of Money
1. You cannot pay someone enough to care.
2. Kids will rarely respond positively to using money in place of time spent as a way to show them love.
3. Investments go up and down, so it is most important that your emotions don’t follow life’s unknowns that are unknown.
4. Money has never been the root of all evil, but it does have roots on whichever side one decides to plant a tree.
5. It’s not what can be attained in total but what is maintained that is the true measurement of financial skill.
6. The fundamental skill of profit and loss is the only skill needed in order never to need money in life but rather use it for what it’s meant for: building and controlling time.
