We talked about how our thoughts and beliefs about money can greatly impact our financial situation and overall well-being.

1) Seeking reliable information with an open mind and educating yourself.
2) Avoiding unrealistic financial expectations and get-rich-quick schemes.
3) Acting to address financial problems instead of ignoring them.
4) Remembering to prioritize necessities like housing, food, and transportation before taking risks.
