Today I went to my friend's office to talk through my financial status and perspectives. See, he's kind of apprentice financier, studying the market and telling people what should they do with their money. He also had an attractive young lady with him, his "boss" or whatever, but not that it is of any importance to my story.
So here I am, at their office. Both are so nice and friendly to me, explaining mechanism of investment life insurance combined with mortgage and mortgage savings. Everything's so warm and friendly, in fact, that it would be seriously suspicious, if one of them wasn't my trusted friend. So, after some time we get to pension saving and stuff like that and finally I'm leaving the office, completely encumbered with too much data on everything and three signatures lighter.
During the 45minutes of my way home, with fat ladies trying to psychically force me to stand up and give up my deserved seat, I realize, that here we are actually earning money BY MONEY. We don't have to do a shit, we just have money and for that other people will give us yet more money.
Not that I mind, but reading this stuff later on I realize what state our society really is in. We have everything and we're so terribly bored. People have to sell their body, whereas we are paid for not using our money. People starve to death, whereas we start saving for our pension when we are 18.
I'm not trying to make a point here, it's just that it stroke me and I found it...amusing.
Yeah, and I just blasted off 399,- for my brother's Magic: The Gathering Started Pack.
Still untouched by economy, aren't we?
ReplyDeletePeople are paid for lending the money to those who are able to invest. And if you have a money avalible to lend, you had to do something in the past in order to get them. You are earning money by PREVIUOS WORK.
Thanks for amazing introduction to how finances work.
ReplyDeleteAccidentally, I know this already. The thing is, that the sole fact of having money gives you the possibility to earn even more without having to do anything. That's what I was trying to point out.
(previous, not previuos, darling)

ReplyDeleteYou know, sweetheart, I was mislead in the case of you knowledge. Using capital letters makes you look like an idiot. Period.
ReplyDeleteAnd what I'm pointing out is that you aren't doing anythig. You are lending your money from the previous work. If you need more sweat, blood and tears, go to Cambodia, honey.
