Being in debt means using up the future in the present. Essentially, it’s about how we manage our time. Therefore, the most valuable resource for debtors is time, and it depends on which side time favors. Paying off debt is like repaying borrowed future time early. When the ability to generate wealth over time decreases, the future time becomes a burden, and the debtor faces the pain of bankruptcy. Taking on debt is costly. It may seem like borrowed money is repaid with money, but the irreplaceable resource of time is also returned along with interest. With the rise of postpaid credit cards as a common payment method, we’ve become less sensitive to the associated pain and cost. There are two ways to spend money: using present time or future time. The costs and pain are much higher when the future is spent as if it were the present. - 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”
