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”
Both a life in which money is the goal and a life that ignores money while focusing on the limitations of existence are enslaved to money. People are wary of greed for money but feel pity for a life constrained by its lack and filled with excuses. However, these two are essentially the same phenomenon, stemming from a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about the essence of money . Both conditions prevent individuals from achieving the freedom that money can provide . That is why money becomes a source of unhappiness when it is viewed either as a purpose or merely as a means. There is nothing more precious than the freedom to exercise sovereignty over my life independently. The world divides into those who seek wealth for freedom and those who earn money to become slaves to it. There is no neutrality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
