You don't need brains to be rich

Phew, I'm feeling better after reading about the research that scientists just completed at Ohio State University!

A great mind does not always make for a great fortune. The richest people in the world are apparently no smarter than you and me. In fact the very brightest are more likely to have financial problems.

"the easiest way to double your money
is to fold it in half"

However, being smart does lead to high income, just not 'Warren Buffet' type of money. So you can send the kids off to college, comfortable in the knowledge that they will have a great chance to be high income earners. However, they likely won't become filthy rich. (I wonder what jealous poor guy made up that phrase...filthy rich).

So I guess that leaves us with the question....what does lead to great wealth. The answer seems to be an unshakeable belief in one's ability, a clear goal and plan plus a totally positive attitude.

I wonder if the same thing would apply to happiness?

"always borrow money from a pessimist,

they don't expect to be paid back"

In conclusion, your IQ has really no relationship to your wealth. A little belief, goes a long way!
