Nominal Value is the price assigned to an item, such as a book priced at $15.50. Real Value is the adjusted price, considering factors like inflation and depreciation, so the used price of the book reflects this Real Value. Intrinsic Value refers to the worth of the book’s content, which can far exceed its Nominal or Real Value depending on the reader’s ability to understand and apply it. Merchants profit from the gap between Nominal and Real Values, while wise individuals gain by recognizing and utilizing Intrinsic Value. Recognizing and leveraging these values is essential for building wealth. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Human activity was limited when the world paused due to the pandemic, and interactions plummeted. People openly admitted that they were struggling financially. Wealth creation is the core purpose of an economy. Wealth is created through exchange. Exchange is the only way wealth is created. Things are only priced through an exchange. The pandemic has irrefutably demonstrated that activity fosters exchange. If you want to gain wealth, you must be active. Even if you're not dynamically active, you must be statically active. Keep being active! Never stand still! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
