W
hen I was a I child I had a passbook savings account. Back in pre-computer
days, the bank teller updated your little booklet (called the passbook) with entries
showing your bank balance. One day I made a birthday deposit (thanks,
Grandma!) and saw one additional entry. Stamped in front of my deposit was
another deposit, one I did not make: 
it was interest.
While the dollar amount was terribly small, I vividly remember, “Wow, my
money earned money, and I did nothing but let time pass!” It was fascinating
and planted a seed that later sprouted a life-changing dividend. As I got older, I
never forgot this simple concept—
money makes money while time passes.
Unfortunately, once I graduated and real life’s temptations hit, I neglected
the money-system novelty and buried it behind a lot of feckless “feel-good”
spending. I’m young! I’m going to live! Even after I sold my company the first
time, lifestyle elevation ushered the money system idea to back-of-mind status.
Knowing and doing became two different things.
And then the stock market collapsed. Once I saw the sale proceeds dwindle
under the weight of hedonistic spending and falling tech stocks (so much for
Wall Street being a safe investment, eh?), it was then that knowing became doing.
I went from a free-wheeled spender to 
a purposed saver.

payments, and price checking a box of Cheerios. The end of doing shit you hate
for a paycheck you can’t survive on.
Never. Work. Again.
