Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems

I had no idea where the phrase came from “More money more problems” but I looked it up… Apparently it’s a song by the rapper B.I.G. (love him) (love rappers). Which, according to my book Rich Dad Poor Dad, can be very true. The answer in life is not more money. See, we all think…
