Good morning. It's a bit dull and cold outside at the moment, but there is a good chance it might brighten up later. I want to go out, there is a local 'do' on so maybe a short drive out this afternoon.
Keeping track of personal finances is quite a simple affair. It is for me because I follow my mum's golden rules. If you can't afford it you can't have it. If the purse is empty there is no money left. If you don't need it, you don't buy it. Wants have to wait until later, after all the needs have been covered by the money you have coming into the house. Knowing the difference between a need and a want is paramount. If you can't work out those basic principles you are going to fail.
This is a simple way of looking at things. It starts getting complicated if you are easily influenced by watching others, how they live their lives, and why shouldn't you have a new sofa because next door have just had one delivered.
We are bombarded by influential advertising. It take a person with a strong resolve not to get sucked in by the hype. I remember the first time I got seduced in by a window display in a fashion shop. There was the most gorgeous camel coloured trouser suit in a prominent position at the front. It was beckoning to me. I so wanted it, but I didn't have enough money. I asked my mum if she would come to the shop with me, and sign as a guarantor so I could pay for it over a period of weeks. She agreed. Every pay day I walked across the road to hand over the agreed amount and was chuffed when I had paid it off. That was a learning curve because other spending had to stop until the debt was paid. I never did that again, until I had to get a mortgage to buy my first house.
My simple way of managing my finances is easy to comprehend. But the further along the line you get, the bigger the company, the much larger amounts owned by large corporations, is when it gets incredibly complicated.
People ask me 'who are they', when I talk about the Globalists who are poised to take control of every aspect of our lives. I don't understand all of it but I am trying to educate myself. From what I understand Blackrock owns just about everything. Along with Vanguard, the Rockefeller Foundation, and others. They market themselves as Philanthropic Organisations. You need to read up about them to form your own opinions.
To cut to the chase, because I have things to do today, take a look at this video. It explains a lot.
Here is a description
.
BlackRock and other financial giants are quietly remonetizing gold—not to stabilize the dollar, but to profit from its collapse. In this video, I break down how gold is being used as collateral to create money, how BlackRock is positioning itself to benefit from both war and economic crisis, and why they’re stockpiling gold and silver like never before.
Former BlackRock insiders are sounding the alarm. The Federal Reserve is trapped. And war in the Middle East could trigger the next financial reset. Are you ready? I have a video coming out later on to show my shopping haul from Aldi. What did I spend my money on. If only the worlds finances are that simple, but they are not. All we can do is put our own house in order, even when all around us crumbles.
Catch ya later. Have a good weekend. Toodle pip. ilona
We probably belong to the last generation that understood the difference between needs and wants. Looking around, all I see amongst younger generations is instant gratification, using someone else's money. The endless new high spec cars on PCP deals, the must have latest designer clothing, the latest in mobile tech etc.
ReplyDeleteFine, so long as the music keeps playing, but as a friend of mine observed, one pay cheque away from meltdown.
And not helped by the last 20 years of interest rate/QE insanity that we will be paying for for decades to come.
