One of the key principles of money is ‘opportunity cost.’ It means that when I buy something, I have to give up something else in return. We think we buy because we need something, but we often forget that we could buy something else instead. We rarely consider ‘opportunity cost’ when making a purchase. We do not compare other values against our needs. Buying something means giving up something else, but we often don’t realize it. When we spend money, we should also consider the ‘opportunity cost’; yet, in reality, we aren’t trained to do so. By making a purchase, we bypass the value comparison that may not offer any additional benefits. Maybe it’s because we lack knowledge, or perhaps the idea isn’t appealing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Value is created through production and consumption, while added value emerges from exchange. An exchange is, in economic terms, a transaction and, in legal terms, a contract. Wealth is created when value-added accumulates. As a result of the coronavirus, humans are entering a period of quarantine. During this time, goats and deer are running in London's residential yards, and the Himalayan Mountains are invisible due to dust pollution in India. It is undeniable that human activity has had an absolute impact on nature. Your interactions and activities have significantly impacted the world, even if you didn't realize it. If you want to get rich, you have to stay active. You need to interact with the world anyway. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
