Every benefit comes with costs and expenses. There can be no benefit without costs and expenses. Receiving a gift actually incurs costs and expenses. Whether we give our time or spend money to maintain a relationship with the giver, we are paying in some way. Even inheriting a parent’s legacy comes at a cost and expense. Since costs are incurred before gains, it’s more advantageous to learn how to manage spending effectively rather than just earning money to build wealth. Costing the cash is called INVESTMENT. Whether it is a wasteful investment (consumption) or an investment to accumulate value, this decision is ultimately up to you. - 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”
