My Suggestion VS Financial Fairy Tales
The conspirators need your cash flowing to them.
That is why they train their sales people such as financial planners and stockbrokers to say things like the stock market goes up 8 percent per year. They use the lure of capital gains to draw your cash flow into their pockets.
Real estate agents use a similar sales pitch.
They often say, "You'd better buy now before prices go up." The idea of buying before prices going up is buying on the expectation of capital gains. Again the salesperson uses the lure of capital gains to get your cash flow.
That's the game.
The moment you sign that mortgage, cash flows from you to them.
... And you stay in the rat race.
The good news is that it does not cost much to teach kids the vocabulary of money; no massive increase in educational funding is necessary - just some common sense.
