1. Wealth is what you don’t see: Wealth is the assets you accumulate that nobody else can see. It’s the cars not purchased, the clothes not bought, and the vacations not taken. #ThePsychologyofMoney #Wealth #Savings $QUACK
2. Compounding is the most powerful force in finance: Time and patience are the most important ingredients of compound interest. Understanding the power of compound interest is essential for building long-term wealth. #CompoundInterest #WealthBuilding $QUACK
The holidays are a good time to reconnect w/ people who’ve helped you get where you are. Find your senior year English teacher, say you appreciate her patience. Write to your last boss. You won’t be giving up anything. Gratitude feels good both to receive & to give.
Especially if you feel lonely, go thru your contacts, write to a bunch of people, say thank you for one thing, or just that you hope they’re enjoying the holidays.
It can be hard, esp for men, to reach out w/o a specific goal. The goal is continued connection & appreciation.

For a long time as a young man I felt like expressing gratitude/appreciation was giving something up. I wish I'd been more consistent w/ appreciation. Friends/girlfriends were often more generous than me. Don't waste time, take the opportunity to (re)connect.

TODAY, GOVERNMENTS CREATE #CURRENCY BY FIRST CREATING BONDS OR TREASURY-BILLS.

2/
THESE #BONDS ARE SOLD IN THE #MARKET… GENERATING FUNDS FOR THE GOVERNMENT THAT ISSUED THEM.
LARGE #BANKS BUY U.S. BONDS TO FLIP THEM… SELLING THEM TO THE #FEDERAL RESERVE AT A PROFIT -- THIS IS THE MAGIC MONEY MACHINE. #FED

3/ YOU SEE… THE FED IS AMERICA’S #CENTRALBANK. BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE ANY MONEY, NO #CASH ON ITS BALANCE SHEETS.
WHEN A BANK BUYS A BOND AND TAKES IT TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE, THE FED SIMPLY SAYS “THANK YOU MR. BANKER, HERE’S THE PRINCIPAL AND SOME #PROFIT.”
