The Trap of Consumerism
The dictionary defines consumerism as “…ever expanding consumption of goods…” This US of A that we all live in and enjoy has become known as a debtor nation, probably for two reasons, one that our government can’t live within a budget (Our Fault For Not Demanding That They Do) so we are forever increasing our national debt to pay for things like never-ending wars, charity programs including millions in subsidies to other countries, and a host of other pet programs by politicians that claim they have our best interest at heart, what a joke. The other is the increasing amount of debt we as citizens take on ourselves, because we have this notion that we can afford the payments, and it’s things we really need, another bunch or horse ____ . I purpose that most of these items we think we need are frivolous and does nothing more than help us create an image for others to envy.
Image you say ?? Yes just take a look around at our youth and millennials, they wear watches the size of Frisbees, white rimmed sunglasses, jeans with embroidery on the back pockets, some costing up to $300 or more, they need an updated cell phone every 6 months, hair treatments, seasonal wardrobes, trucks that are 6 feet off the ground with new rims and stereos that can break ear drums, body piercings, tattoos, they still live with parents and on and on. Now don’t think for a minute that they’re the only ones with “Image Ego Justification” issues, we as parents help teach them the ways of consumerism and image, we purchase new homes, with well manicured lawns, new cars, beauty treatments, cloths in overstocked closets, same ol routine of new phones with the latest gizmos, furniture, pianos (Of Course We Want Our Kids To Have Culture) and all the other crap to make our lives more convenient and comfortable. We are so bust buying crap that we don’t protect and increase our wealth through sound financial decisions, plus we’re just too damn broke.
So here we are today with an opportunity to finally compete with the big boys and secure our financial destiny, and we don’t even take a few hours to check it out or learn about, are we all Looney or what ? The opportunity is Crypto-Currency (Bitcoin), Joe-Schmoes like ourselves are making excellent returns in very short time periods, the flood gates to this opportunity are starting to open, the herd is about to make their move, it is still early and a position now in this field can make one wealthy in the not too far off future. DON’T WAIT, pay your dues, spend the time, get off your ass, start focusing on financial security not worldly items and debt, join with us, get active, and participate in the movement that will make other history markers like the internet old news. The time to act is now,
