Polictics, Religion, and Money

It is said that one should not openly discuss Politics, Religion, or Money. That for some reason these horrid topics cause bad feelings, or resentment, Maybe even an awkward moment or two. I have a different perspective, and would like to share it with you.
When we decide to become more advanced in any subject, be it dancing, computer skills, or learning to make a good pasta salad (if such a thing exists) we usually decide to enlist the help of other. We hire teachers, take certain classes, read books or manuals. We have conversation with our friends and neighbors about the subject. We post it on Facebook, we blog it, we mass text it to the world, etc. We are accustom to having our entire lives broadcasted to anyone willing to read or hear (which is a whole problem on it's own). We have also come to realize that the more people who know, the more answers and help we receive. It's a great plan all together.
The problem is that when it comes to things that REALLY make a difference in life, we keep it in. We don't share important thought and feelings. We don't share information that may alter another persons life in a good direction. We don't try to change the world around us. It's easier to not deal with it. So we go about Tweeting what our dog did this morning, that really cute thing that made us laugh.
When it comes to money we tend to be shy. I am sure it is for many reasons, and different for every one. You may think you know it all, or make to little to need to worry, or maybe you think you make more than all your friends and don't want to cause embarrassment. Maybe you have no clue about finances and don't want to admit it. No matter what reason you have, I am sure it can be corrected or changed.
Money is a Major part of EVERYTHING we do. It runs the world. It can make the difference between life or death, it can bring families together, it can build a future for your posterity that will last centuries. It can provide a great education for your family. It can Help to do just about anything.
On the other side money can be dark, it can destroy families, it causes murder and greed. It turns good people into politicians. Money can be horrible.
How can we learn to handle money in the correct way? How can we control our money, instead of having it control us? We can talk about it. We can LEARN about it, we can facebook about it. There are so many great books we can read. Look around you, there are great people who are doing well at their finances you can talk to (not the guy with the new shiny car he got for a great payment, the guy who paid cash for his car). As we open up and talk about money, we can all become better financially. This is not a topic to keep in the dark. Now is the time to change how we think and act around money. It's time to talk!
