    Right, I don't think there's any disagreement between the two comparisons, either. I'm simply saying that Francisco's speech doesn't actually say how to become wealthy, only how to avoid being a dishonest thief.

    Francisco did not think that money should be worshiped, but he did think it should be valued. Yes, the video and what you wrote are different, and I appreciate the distinction. I still don't think we are in disagreement.

    Well, I'm not so sure I agree that it's good to worship money, though I do understand that being frugal and keeping a close eye on both your income and expenditures is vital to financial prosperity, both in your personal life and your business (if you have one).

    True. Francisco basically said that if you trade value for value, then you've rightfully earned your money, and you deserve every cent of it, but if you obtained your money by looting it from others, then you are immoral. It's a true statement, but it still does not distinguish between the different income types, which is the point of this video.

    Francisco was essentially just distinguishing between a thief and an honest man, while this video is distinguishing between an employee and a business owner. It's not exactly the same comparison.

    Francisco said- it is not how much money you have that gives you merit, but how you earnt it.

    Francisco only said that it was good to worship money and to work hard for it. That says nothing about making money via passive income instead of hourly income.

    Economics 101. Good advice. I hesitate to comment further for fear that you might read more into my comment than intended. Sorry, Mephesdus. Just jerking your chain. :) Have a great day!
