Most people study in school, yet the education system does not provide financial education. Even though it doesn’t take long for us to realize that finance is an essential element of survival, isn’t it strange that schools don’t offer financial education? Economic activity is a power game where someone wins and someone loses. One person’s loss is another’s gain, and my sacrifice is someone else’s fortune. In other words, economic activity embodies the harsh reality of deciding between discomfort and the uncertain odds of a game that determines who occupies a position, even though that position has already been predetermined. This issue is further exacerbated by the fact that people have different productive capacities and society mandates that the means of value exchange is cash (fiat currency). To survive, you must first understand how social systems function. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Making money is far more addictive than spending it. Once you earn money, the pathway to creating more becomes clear. If you try that method and succeed again, then money-making becomes a religion beyond mere addiction. When this method is experienced as an accomplishment, one must remember that the purpose and core motivations suddenly shift from their original intent, leading to corruption. Addiction knows no distinction between good and evil and disregards the line between the sacred and the secular. Be cautious of becoming addicted to seemingly good things. Anyone with a firm conviction of good and evil should always raise concerns. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
