Salary isn’t just ‘my money.’ It’s money that should be spent considering yourself today, your future self in 10 years, and your future self in 20 years—that is, your future self together. Therefore, my current income is always, in a way, public money. We need to get approval from our future self before spending now. A bright future is only guaranteed if the future self agrees to the spending. It’s inconvenient to spend other people’s money on your own terms, and thinking of your own money the same way you see others’ cherished money will help you develop good habits for the future. I don’t have an exclusive claim to my own money, as if there’s no such thing as my own air in this world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Value is created through production and consumption, while added value emerges from exchange. An exchange is, in economic terms, a transaction and, in legal terms, a contract. Wealth is created when value-added accumulates. As a result of the coronavirus, humans are entering a period of quarantine. During this time, goats and deer are running in London's residential yards, and the Himalayan Mountains are invisible due to dust pollution in India. It is undeniable that human activity has had an absolute impact on nature. Your interactions and activities have significantly impacted the world, even if you didn't realize it. If you want to get rich, you have to stay active. You need to interact with the world anyway. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
