Is money bad?

Money isn't a bad thing like many people say or think, and I will try to explain why.

Disregarding bad way of getting money, like robbery and any coercive way, to make money, you always need to put your time and effort to produce goods or provide services. Then you have to put yourself on non coercive trade with other people that want to buy your good or service in exchange for money. So, money corresponding a part of your life that you spend to make them.

When you are about buy some good or service, you should ask to yourself: "How much of my life I want to put on the table to get that resource?". Is not just money that you will spend, is your life in the game. Every time when you buy some foolish thing, you put in the trash a slice of your life.

I'm not talking about resume your life just to make and save money. Save some money for unpredictable events and put a slice to improve your incomes. Spend 'em with intellectual improvement, better experience, to make you free of your addictions and of the system that arrest you on a rat race.

Don't just work and buy, work and buy everything that you see on television and the internet. Nowadays, many companies sell some goods or services that aren't good for your health or that will increase your addictions. Regardless of that immoral companies' behave, is your role make better choices to don't buy something that is bad for you. When many people boycott those bad goods and services, that type of company won't be sustainable.

Take charge of your choices, spend your time to learn more about what is good for you and that deserve your money, I mean, deserve a piece of your effort, a piece of your life. When you do that, you will be more free to live, because you don't need make so much money to buy so many things.
