Introduction

Oscar Wilde once said – "A cynic is that person who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." This was said more than 100 years ago, and I was wondering about how man suddenly decided that his idea of happiness was tied up with the thought of money and why he has become so materialistic.

This book is being written because I have noticed that more and more acquaintances and friends of mine instinctively look at an item in somebody else’s house, and start pricing it mentally. Sometimes they even blurt out the price, as if they cannot help it. And the tone is either very envious, or rather patronizing.

So this book is going to tell you all about how you as a human being could start learning about the value of money and its place in the scheme of things. You may also teach your children this particular attitude, and this is going to be explained in further volumes. So that your child does not grow up thinking that the level of his contentment, satisfaction, and happiness as he grows up to be an adult is directly linked with the amount of money in his bank balance, or amounts accessible to him. In fact, you could learn the price of money and the value people put on it, right here.
