The Power of Cash

Our view of money and finances in North American Society is skewed. It has been twisted into a mentality of "want more, need more, have more". Society tells us that we need money in order to buy more. Sure, Society may also tell us to plan for our futures and save for retirement, but Wall Street and Corporate Executives really don't want anyone to hang on to their cash.

Ultimately, Wall Street and the Bigwigs don't even want the working class to have too much of their money. Why do you think the "recession" really happened? Too much cash in the working man's hands, that's why.

Most people do not understand that money is a limited resource. It needs to be backed up by hard currency (usually gold) in order to even be issued...at least that is the way it used to be. Now, it seems as if most countries simply exist on credit.

Think about that credit for a minute. How much do you have? How much do you owe? What is that credit backed up by? A job? A car? A house? An investment?

If you have credit, you need a source of income to pay back that credit when used. So, I have to ask you this question: Are you really free?

We supposedly live in a "free" country. A country where we are allowed to practice whatever religion (or lack of religion) that we see fit. A country where we can perform most pleasurable and/or work-related activities without fear of government repercussion/repression. A country where you can (supposedly) build whatever life you choose.

What will you say when I tell you that you are not free? If you have any amount of owed credit, then you are a literal slave to the banking and capitalistic system that exists in North American Society.

When you go to your job, your employer compensates you - with money - for your time. Time is your true commodity. Not your skills, not your knowledge, not your muscle. Your time is what you purchase everything with. Therefore, if you spend most of your time paying off debt and creditors, you are a literal slave to them until that debt is paid - with piles of interest added on.

You only have 70 to 80 years to spend. Is that new I-Phone really worth it?
