Farewell to "Money-Honey"

 I got a job at the bank and had many meetings with the "Money-Honey" I admired, but our honeymoon didn't last long.


"Money-Honey" must be angry at me for betraying her and running to God, to Buddha.


"I let you touch me so much."


I'm sorry, we're not going to work out.


I want to be free from you.


I don't want to be tied down by you.


Goodbye. I'm going now.


It's a sad moment of separation for the two of us.


And so I quit the bank after a year and a half. I did "touch" her. Money. More money in one day than an average person could touch in their entire life. Every day, every day. That's why I don't want to touch it anymore. Money. So


"How do you want to pay?"


"PayPay."(Online payment app)


But I wonder if "Money-Honey" is really angry at me.


Maybe she actually cares.


Because the balance in my savings account keeps growing.


Perhaps you still have feelings for me?


It's time to stop messing around and get serious.


The reason my savings balance keeps growing is because I only spend within the limits of my income. It's only because I know what is enough. So it's only natural.


If you know what is enough, "Money-Honey" will follow you on its own. It will follow you around.


By taking back control from money and into human hands through "few desires and contentment," you can manage your money without being at the mercy of money. Instead of being controlled by money, you will control money.


You will no longer be under Money-Honey's thumb.


Of course, you can't become "rich". Because you are "few desires and contentment," you only need what you need, and you don't want more than that. You are satisfied with that. You are content. And that's why peace comes to your heart. In the first place, I think that "getting rich" is a "waste of time."


In the end, we go back to what Socrates said, 

"Aren't you ashamed that you only think about increasing your money?"

 I think there are more important things to do, such as "saving the soul" and "pursuing the truth." At the same time, I want to work to contribute to society. God, or Buddha, is watching over us and will give work to such people. Work comes from the other side. So we have an income. But because we are "content with little," our spending is low. So even if we don't "only think about increasing our money," our money will increase on its own. 

Faith is wonderful.

 You can find true joy.

 If economic activity takes up all your time and you forget your faith, you won't know what you're living for. 

It's the same as saving as much money as you can and dying without ever spending it. 

In a capitalist world ruled by money, all of a person's time and energy is spent on the pursuit of profit. 

Doesn't that make you wonder what you're living for?

Do not charge interest

 "You shall not earn interest." This is a famous teaching in the Quran, and it is a powerful blow that nullifies the self-replicating function of money. As I wrote before, "Money is already LIFE because it has the ability to self-replicate." and the basis of that self-replicating function of money is "interest." Humans created "money" to replace barter, making trade and the accumulation of wealth easier. Furthermore, by granting "interest" to money, they gave money itself the ability to self-replicate. They breathed the "life" into money. Money then began to have the will to "increase on its own," and as a means to dominate, it used humans. Once you give money interest, it grows exponentially, just like living things grow exponentially. (Just by looking at the way it grows, you can see that money has "life".) For example, when a cell divides, it doubles. When it divides again, it doubles again. It's 2 t...

The birth of a new life called "money"

 I was at the enemy's headquarters. A place where there is a lot of money. A place where money gathers. A bank. "Traitor!" Indeed. "Are you a spy?" Maybe. Maybe a "double agent." "Why did you join the bank?" Of course, "Because I love money!" When I was in the accounting department, "Mr. X, please give me 200 million by 3 o'clock." "Got it!" I seal 100 10,000 yen($100) bills in a small band, then seal 10 of them in a large band to make 10 million. 10 of those make 100 million, and 20 of those make 200 million. It takes about 30 minutes to make it. I put it in a bag. One person can manage 100 million yen ($1million) , but 200 million yen ($2million) would be difficult unless there are two people. It's money. Money. My beloved money. It's the money I dreamed of and longed for. There's lots of it. There's no end to it. Whether you look to the right, to the left, forward, backward, down, or up, th...

How to win "Money"

 If you borrow money, interest will accrue and it will grow exponentially, so you will soon lose control and be ruined. We have seen the scary power of exponential growth, but is there no way to beat money? Is this already a losing battle? Wait a minute. Why not just not borrow money? Or rather, what would happen if you deposited money? The current interest rate for fixed deposits in US dollars is... 4.1% (Sumitomo Mitsui SBI). 1.041 to the 100th power is... 1.041 to the 100th power is about 55.60. (by ChatGPT) "55.6 times! I did it! I'm rich." You'll be dead in 100 years? Right. That's pointless. Well, if it's 30 years, 1.041 to the 30th power is about 3.34. (by ChatGPT) "3.34 times? That's pretty good. I'm not poor anymore." Did you just win? To money? Our enemy, that almost invincible "money"? Debts grow exponentially, but so do savings, so if we can use the secret of our enemy's strength, the "interest" system, to ...
