Receiving an investment signifies that you are receiving a prepayment for future costs and expenses. To generate revenue, you must cover these costs upfront. If you lack the funds necessary to manage current expenses while aiming to raise revenue, you might need to borrow money or attract investments. However, as a recipient of these funds, you cannot use them freely; this money does not belong to you. Legally, your options for utilizing this money are limited: you can either receive it as a salary from your expense account, as a dividend from profits after deductions as a shareholder, or pursue official management incentives. This underscores that the invested funds are not your own. When funds are invested, it implies that profits will be derived from someone else’s money, which you will share with the investor.

A bank trades collateral by holding debt called savings and selling bonds known as loans. Customer deposits are not bank money and must be returned to the customer as the bank’s debts.

The primary instrument of control is their bonds. In a way, banks tend not to be places where they make money with their own possessions, but rather conduct business as if it were their own with others’ collateral.

This is the similarity between a bank and a library that accumulates information. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Imagine you have a goose that lays golden eggs (how wonderful that would be!). According to philosophy, there are three primary approaches to utilizing this goose.

The second individual manages hunger differently by selling the golden eggs as they are produced. Lastly, the third person opts to lease the goose to earn rental income. This scenario illustrates earned income, financial income, and investments. Ultimately, it comes down to how you choose to manage your time (profit in fixed terms) to fit your needs. Wealth is defined by circumstances and the passage of time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
