lly all his life。

 The other would bee one of the richest men in Hawaii。

 One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family; charities and his church。

 The other left bills to be paid。

Both men were strong; charismatic and influential。

 Both men offered me advice; but they did not advise the same things。

 Both men believed strongly in education but did not remend the same course of study。

If I had had only one dad; I would have had to accept or reject his advice。

 Having two dads advising me offered me the choice of contrasting points of view; one of a rich man and one of a poor man。

Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other; I found myself thinking more; paring and then choosing for myself。

The problem was; the rich man was not rich yet and the poor man not yet poor。

 Both were just starting out on their careers; and both were struggling with money and families。

 But they had very different points of view about the subject of money。

For example; one dad would say; 〃The love of money is the root of all evil。

〃 The other; 〃The lack of money is the root of all evil。

As a young boy; having two strong fathers both influencing me was difficult。

 I wanted to be a good son and listen; but the two fathers did not say the same things。

 The contrast in their points of view; particularly where money was concerned; was so extreme that I grew curious and intrigued。

 I began to start thinking for long periods of time about what each was saying。

Much of my private time was spent reflecting; asking myself questions such as; 〃Why does he say that?〃 and then asking the same question of the other dads statement。

 It would have been much easier to simply say; 〃Yeah; hes right。

 I agree with that。

〃 Or to simply reject the point of view by saying; 〃The old man doesnt know what hes talking about。

〃 Instead; having two dads whom I loved forced me to think and ultimately choose a way of thinking for myself。

 As a process; choosing for myself turned out to be much more valuable in the long run; rather than simply accepting or rejecting a single point of view。

One of the reasons the rich get richer; the poor get poorer; and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home; not in school。

 Most of us learn about money from our parents。

 So what can a poor parent tell their child about money? They simply say 〃Stay in school and study hard。

〃 The child may graduate with excellent grades but with a poor persons financial programming and mind…set。

 It was learned while the child was young。

Money is not taught in schools。

 Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills; but not on financial skills。

 This explains how smart bankers; doctors and accountants who earned excellent grades in school may still struggle financially all of their lives。

 Our staggering national debt is due in large part to highly educated politicians and government officials making financial decisions with little or no training on the subject of money。

I often look ahead to the new millennium and wonder what will happen when we have millions of people who will need financial and medical assistance。
