People seem to always chase money as though it's real. Money is just the current form of currency that is used to exchange commodity and value. Value is gained through acquiring knowledge, especially knowledge that will bring value to others. This value has to be in the form of problem solving and finding solutions. Become a person who is innovative, who is a problem solver and you'll find yourself attracting money. Where value goes money must follow. People pay for solutions and ideas that will make their life easier and better. Gain knowledge in multiple subjects or specialize in one so that you are sought out for your knowledge and ability to solver people's problems.
