16 False Narratives That Our Society Makes Us Believe to Be True

One of the main things society keeps reminding us is that we need to make and spend a lot of money. It also lies about how people can and do make a lot of money and forgets to mention that hard work is needed. Basically everything revolves around consumerism and money and you can see that everywhere you look. It takes a very strong-minded person to notice these lies and resist falling into their traps.
