But　there　is　one　distinction　that　I　would　like　to　point　out。　I've　noticed　that　my　friends　with　money　talk　about　money。　And　I　do　not　mean　brag。　They're　interested　in　the　subject。 So　I　learn　from　them；　and　they　learn　from　me。　My　friends；　whom　I　know　are　in　dire　straits　financially；　do　not　like　talking　about　money；　business　or　investing。　They　often　think　it　rude　or　unintellectual。　So　I　also　learn　from　my　friends　who　struggle　financially。　I　find　out　what　not　to　do。

If　you　watch　CNBC；　which　is　a　goldmine　of　investment　information；　they　often　have　a　panel　of　so…called　〃experts。〃　One　expert　will　say　the　market　is　going　to　crash；　and　the　other　will　say　it's　going　to　boom。　If　you're　smart；　you　listen　to　both。　Keep　your
