We live in the Information Age. In the Information Age, money is important. More specifically, knowledge about money is essential in the information age. The problem is our educational system is still in the Industrial Age, and in the minds of most intellectuals and academics, money is not important. Most of these people are operating on old, outdated, and obsolete ideas of money. But money is important. Today money is a key aspect of life. Today financial security is more important than job security.
