I can't remember who said it, but this one little concept changed me forever. Money is water. If you think of money as water - because it behaves exactly the same - you would be far better off for it.

So, what do I mean by money is water? Well, there's a finite amount of it on the Earth, but far more than any one person could ever use or need. In this day and age, you pretty much can't go without having money at some point in order to survive.

Not only that, but if you were to say to yourself "I need to get 50,000 gallons of water" you would have the right mindset for doing the same with money. That is "well, it's gonna take a while to haul all that water from the ocean, but we can do it, it's just gonna take time and hard work."

Now apply that to a desired weekly income - say 4,000 gallons per week. You would think "well, I better get a pretty efficient system for hauling water." You also need to store lots of water so you can do things like take a bath and run the dishwasher whenever you need it.

So - money is water. It's not some big ominous scary monster. Just water ;)
