What are the biggest lies that society tells us?

1. Money can’t buy happiness. If money can't buy happiness try being broke and see how misery can quickly put you on a sick bed.
2. Buying a home is a great investment. In some cases, buying a home can be a great investment, especially if the home is in a plush neighborhood and there's no mortgage attached to it. Otherwise, if it's on mortgage the bank owns the house and there's nothing you can do if the bank decides to foreclose it.
3. Money is the root of all evil. Actually, the correct statement says: “the love of money is the root of all evil".
4. You can be anything you want. The reality is that we’re not all the same and sometimes we don't get an equal opportunity in life, and even if we do, we have to struggle very hard, and sometimes fight tooth and nail.
5. Patience pays. This works only in some of the times, but not all the time.
6. Good things come to those who wait. Actually good things come to those who act.
7. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is static power. Otherwise all university professors would be millionaires. Applied knowledge is power.
8. Hard work pays. This is not always true. Otherwise casual laborers who toil daily in the trenches, and work extremely hard, would be extremely rich.
9. You must be really smart in order to make it in life. Many extremely successful people are not smart, but they know how to work with smart people to get results.
10. Getting rich is genetic. Actually, in most cases, the genes can be trained to make anyone who has the guts to become rich.
