Money is a tool that helps you to survive in this world meeting our needs, accumulating stuffs and even accumulating money to get bigger stuffs in future. There are 4 methods to produce money and get a constant cash flow:  being an employee , self-employed person , business owner and investor .  Each method uses different ingredients to get the end product, which is money! Each method is not suited for everyone and majority of the population prefers the easier and safer route.  95% of the overall population prefers either being an Employee or Self-employed .

They are primarily influenced by our environment. Consider a colleague/friend gets a brand new smartphone and he flaunts its features to everyone around. That instance triggers a stimuli o...
