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”
Debt is not inherently bad; it belongs to someone else. The goodness or badness of debt depends on the circumstances, terms, and conditions of borrowing, and it is not necessarily negative. Debt should be acquired when I have a stable income or additional profits to invest, rather than for consumption . However, you should avoid using it for highly volatile investments, such as cryptocurrencies or stocks . You need to control the debt; it is considered good when you can manage it under conditions that allow you to repay both the principal and interest . The advantage of debt is that it provides the opportunity to grow faster than others in a competitive environment. Debt belongs to someone else. This is the key. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
