RE: Personal Finance: Debt-Free is the Only Goal That Matters. All Other Goals Are Stupid
An old man is dying of cancer. He goes to his favourite pub and charges up $5,000 on his VISA buying drinks for everyone. After an evening filled with drinks, laughs, and fun for all, he passes out drunk and never wakes up.
What happened to the $5,000?
I'm sad that your debt burdens you. Debt shouldn't burden anyone. It's fake money. All money is fake money. It doesn't actually exist... and if you think I'm a crazy person, I'm not; people make it disappear all the time! It's called bankruptcy... or as I pointed out, death.
Crypto is the closest thing to real money that exists.
Why? Crypto assets cannot be seized. Crypto payments cannot be censored; crypto wages cannot be garnished by government mandate. If you own crypto, not owning it is as easy as forgetting the private key. Owning it is then as simple as remembering it again.
Try doing that with a bank note... or a gold bar, for that matter. Yes, yes... I know about the boating accidents.
Still, everyone has to do things their own way. Hopefully the moon rocket waits for you to pay off your debt, so you can get back to powering up with the rest of us :) Wishing you the best in your quest.
