Much of the criticism, I receive for this blog (anything worth doing will be criticized) has to do with putting money first, before family, before love.
Nope. I don't do that. Family and friends are important. So important that I'm not going to let lack of funds mess that up.
I know that not having money (as my family did growing up) puts stress on families. It is one of the top reasons for divorce. It causes fights. It makes people do things they'd never consider doing if they had a huge investment account doling out fat dividends.
It can even change your choice of careers. Sometimes for the better.
Shia LaBeouf, the hot young actor from Transformers and the new face in Indiana Jones talks about his experience with money...
"I was poor, and I didn't want to be poor. It had nothing to do with acting," he told Peter Travers candidly on ABC News Now's "Popcorn" about his childhood decision to seek a career in acting. "Money seemed to tear my family apart. ... For me, money was the glue."
And he was a kid at the time. He decided to act at the age of 7.
