I Wish Money Didn't Exist
Don't worry, am not broke neither am I one to ask for assistance so this is not an SOS rant.
It is just that lately all my thoughts seem largely imbalanced, ranging from emotional, spiritual to financial. What bothers me is that everything seems to spin around the web of 'more' which usually signals more money, like the mind programs itself to believe money can solve everything.
I do not consider myself poor by any status, but the amount of cash at my disposal runs out too quickly too often, despite my relatively minimalist lifestyle (I even cut my lending rate).
I just think about the way we all chase after the next paycheck sometimes like it is all that matters, often at the cost of living quality lives or staying true to ourselves.
Then there is the constant heartache of constantly having to worry about footing the bills, paying the rent and what not. Don't get me wrong, I love working to earn a living and I believe it gives me extra purpose and meaning, but having to scrape and grind everyday while the future remains largely uncertain is just exhausting.
Sorry about the Sunday rant guys, maybe I do need that vacation (oops, can't afford that too) or marry a rich man...lol.
"Money" was invested as a store of value and a medium of exchange. It was supposed to be something that could represent stored work. Otherwise, you'd have to barter fish for eggs, or milk for a necklace. Money bridged that gap.
The problem has been that countries that use central banks have "currency" in circulation, not money. Currency isn't a store of value because they can always print more currency. When they do, the value of the currency goes down, and so does our buying power. Inflation is slowly robbing all of us and giving that profit to the central banks. If we used a system that didn't have inflation, it'd be much easier to store wealth and transfer it from generation to generation.
I do get what you mean though. If we didn't have to worry about how we were going to continue surviving the next week/month, life would be less stressful.
Before money the solution was physical power. If you could take it, it was yours.
Another solution is "First come First Serve" which sets up situations like Black Friday in the USA, where people will kill for a TV.
Money is just a tool, it can be hard sometimes to remember that though.
Really really hard
Me too!
"like the mind programs itself to believe money can solve everything"
The money can solve almost everything. That, who say, is not true, have never starved.
This is one of the primary foundament what "hold" our civilization. Doesnt matter its bad or good, right now, this is the situation, we must adapt to this.
I agree. I just don't like it
I think, the normal people doesnt like it at all. I dont like it. But the laws of nature, the laws of psichics, and the laws of civilization forced the normal people too, to adapt.
And since Darwin, we know, not the strong survive. The better adaptation survive.
