Is wealth really corrupt—or have we just been taught to believe that? In this chapter of Bank On Your Neighbor, Mel Dorman dismantles one of the most damaging money myths: that being rich automatically makes you greedy, selfish, or disconnected.

From a misadventure with broken Bengali in the streets of Calcutta to the sobering history of financial discrimination in the U.S., Mel explores how cultural narratives, systemic barriers, and personal shame have kept too many of us small. With humor, heart, and unapologetic truth-telling, she reframes money as a tool for liberation—not exploitation.

You’ll learn why building wealth isn’t about yachts and hedge funds, but about reclaiming power, creating time freedom, and fueling movements that serve people and communities. This chapter is an invitation to shift from unconscious wealth to conscious wealth rooted in love, justice, and possibility.

✨ Wealth in the right hands changes everything.
