People are absolutely the best bet. First thing they teach you in nearly every business course I've ever taken and it extends to my life experience as well. People manage money, if you want to get good at managing money... Get good at dealing with people.

I also don't find working for money tedious. I've enjoyed and absolutely loved many jobs.

Jobs I did along the way...

Served fast food, cleaned condos, clipped fish fins, bartending, worked my way through school and moved into business management and Startups. Worked hard, built a family, built friends and enjoyed it, felt the fear of failure and the joy of success. I was happy to improve my skills, accomplish new tasks, and grind my way to better times and things.

Earning improves self- esteem, creates self-reliance and is good for our health and our brain.

Money is a tool, it gives you options. It is neither good nor bad. It is just a tool
