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”

Credit not only reduces costs and expenses, but it also boosts revenues; none of the economic resources compares to this. According to World Bank senior researchers Stephen Knack and Philip Keefer, a 10% increase in the confidence index would lead to an average annual economic growth rate increase of 0.8%. Individuals who lack trust and only seek financial gain are more likely to be ruined by money. While credit is an abstract concept, we must not forget that it remains one of the few valuable assets influencing our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
