What is Financial Peace?  Does it mean having more money?? According to Corporate Finance expert and Financial Guru Carolina Rolim, no it does not mean having more money.  You could have hundreds of dollars in your bank account or millions and not have financial peace.  It all depends on your relationship with your money and whether you are in control of your financial situation, or if it is controlling you.
