e are all indebted to someone else, the problem occur when the debt gets out of balance. Unfortunately the poor people of this world have been run over so hard by the game, they often can't get deeper into debt. If you have too much debt, the world takes everything you have.........your time, your work, your home, your life, your confidence, and then they take your dignity if you let them.
The biggest reason why everyone is in debt is because money itself is debt, our currency is not an instrument of equity, but an instrument debt. Every shilling is backed by an IOU guaranteed to be paid by the taxpayers of the issuing country. As long as the world has confidence in in the Ugandan taxpayer to work and pay for the IOU called money, the world will have confidence in the shilling. If the key element of money which is 'confidence' suddenly disappears, the economy comes down like a house of cards.
Most money today is known as 'fiat money'-FIAT is a dictatorial order or decree given by a person or group of people having complete authority. Money is only a game and we should love the money game, but for most people money is not a game, for most people its survival. For most people, money is a game they are forced to play , and they hate it.
The more civilized we get the more money becomes a part of our lives. The game of money and debt is played on you, on me, played on everyone. This game is played from business to business, and its played from country to country, but the problem is that for most people money is not a game, for most people its survival..........and often life itself. And because no one explained the game to them, they still struggle with life and money.
Like any other game, the game of money also needs some training, know the rules of the game, know who the players are, know who your playing up against, make mistakes, correct them, move on an learn as fast as you can.
Like any other game, this game also needs coaches, probably someone who knows how to play the game, learn a few tricks, apply them and lastly just love the game because its just a game.
One of my favourite songs is 'the gambler' by kenny rogers-one line from the song sums it all up; 'if youre going to play the game, boy, you have to learn to play it right,'
learning the game of money and how it is played is an important part of your journey to financial freedom. THE END
