Love the framing around personal deflation systems. When the whole system pushes us towards debt and buying now, creating an intentional strategy to delay and use cash is lowkey rebellious. I've been trying to apply this with gorceries and its surprising how much longer money can stretch when theres actual friction before purchase instead of just swiping.

1,000%! That friction piece is key! Thank you for this insight - very exceptional

When you are young time is of no concern. Most people go through life psychologically asleep and perhaps awaken at some point to find they are now "old" and the greater part of their lives has gone streaming buy like a ticker tape.

Existence ticks away second by second but moves past very quickly. You get closer to the final curtain and wonder where it all went. You simply cannot believe that time didn't wait for you or give you a chance to catch up. Then soon you discover you will have all the time in the world but no way to enjoy it.

Fantastic explanation, very well put together in an easy to understand format. I feel it’s so important to learn principles of patience and discernment at a young age. My mother ( an elementary school graduate and first generation Ukrainian) was so intelligent, common sense wise, and passed it to me, maybe more so being the baby of 7. These lessons are best learned early, before 14 as she put it. After 14, Mema Verna would say that your character and habits were set. Only a near death experience and alignment with Jehovah could change you. After coaching/teaching for almost 4 decades and over 3,700 young men, she is right. Social media allows me to follow many of all types to see their fruits.

As a 65 year old, I realize time is soooo valuable and try to stay planned and organized to the 1/2 hour block. But I still allow to be distracted by the squirrel!

Have You pondered going into the foundational function of "money" - anything We use to exchange to survive? That being the accounting for the energy We add into a system. Proof that We "did work" of some kind?

Perhaps point out that the foundation would crumble and money become pointless if We add free energy tech?

That a solutocracy - where the Ones affected by a problem are moved to solve it Ethically in any way They choose - is a far better approach, a bottom-up approach, than any governmafia could be?

That is My vision of Our future. Where the accounting for Our energy added is void, where We are motivated by the social currency We earn - thanks, appreciation, fame, love, adoration, etc., and all problems are solve by Those who care, with greater and greater reach if the problems cannot be solved locally.
