One of the #MoneyMagic students once asked me: What's the difference between laziness and ease when it comes to making money?
Ease is NOT laziness, it doesn't mean you don't work.
It just means you make it easy for yourself to make money.

How so many of us watched our parents, grandparents and other adults around us feel powerless with money, especially when there wasn't enough or because they were dependent on others for their finances.
