Back when no one had even considered the possibility that the monetary system\u2014borrowed from the future and spent extravagantly in the present\u2014might be unsustainable. Back then, in the spring of 2007, even the most foolish person was making a fortune virtually on the stock market or through property speculation. What sense did the relationship between wealth and production make back then, if everyone was inflating profits with borrowed money brought in from the future? Foolish indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Things are finally falling into place, and we\u2019ve moved on from <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">foolish the last<\/span> to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">They're all idiots, every last one of them<\/span>. As the article, written on 20 April 2007, is quite long, we will be publishing it between today and tomorrow. I\u2019ll leave you with <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rankia.com\/blog\/familyoffice\/2007\/06\/los-30-es-demasiado-tarde-o-endudate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00abBy the time you\u2019re 30, it\u2019s too late.\u00ab Or \u00bbTake on debt in moderation.

Growing old, falling ill and dying are unavoidable stages in our lives. Although, if we think about it, we can avoid old age if we die young, and even illness if we die accidentally. But in view of this, I prefer to cling to the hope of growing old and getting sick before I die.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"> <\/div>\n<p> All this in a scenario of financial comfort is more bearable. Especially because of the way you will be treated by those around you if they are waiting for a more or less substantial inheritance. We all have close cases of people who have come to their decline depending on the charity of others, be they family, friends or the State itself. Although I could not say which of these is less reliable, I would venture to establish Friends as the most stable plank to hold on to if one has maintained an honest and noble life trajectory, which is rare.<\/p>\n<p>Most realise this need for financial foresight when it is too late. They rely solely on their ability to produce an income. <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_0\">via<\/span> The banks kindly see to it that an individual can greedily consume goods far in excess of his or her productive capacity.

The limit of indebtedness should be set by ourselves, not by the companies that live by mortgaging all our time and productivity multiplied by 2. And even so, moderate indebtedness should only be assumed as a depreciable investment and not for the purchase of leisure consumables. You will find some amusing situations in the novel \u00abEl vendedor de tiempo\u00bb by F. Tr\u00edas De Bes (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.empresaactiva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.empresaactiva.com<\/a>), which refer to the aberration of mortgaging one's entire life time for an asset, even if it is one's own home.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that most people never manage to break out of the vicious circle of living at the same rate at which they are able to progress. This condemns them to depend on the income generated by their work throughout their productive lives, and only live off the state in old age, something that is increasingly evident that is not going to happen. <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">succeed them<\/span> to our generation of 40-somethings and, of course, to future generations.
