Ramsey is using myth in this way when she talks about the financial myths that rule our lives. She is really talking about the shoulds that keep us chained down. She has quite a few of them, but I m going to share just three. Myth Number 2 is You shouldn t talk about money. Many of us would rather talk about anything else in our lives than money.
Money is supposed to be a secret.
Money is tied so closely to our self-worth, what we think of our selves, what we are able to provide for our families. Oh, I think we can afford this. But how often do we raise our children with little or no understanding of what finances are all about. Or put a plastic card into a machine and out come the bills. If you talk about money, children will learn about finances and be better prepared to make wise decisions about what they do with their money.
