Cash Finance

After this crisis, I think that the next movement will be CASH FINANCE

What is CASH FINANCE
There is paper/electronic finance and cash finance. Now since the invention of the credit card, in the past 100 years we are living in an electronic world, where 90% of the money does not exist in physical world, only in computers. So, after living with so much money only in electronic format, and living on debt, I’m sure that capitalism, as we know it it will change. That means a more attention on present, on consuming what you are producing. That means a (more) cash oriented economy, not plastic, like now. That is cash finance.

What are the chances that cash finance will kick in?
Even I wish to come, I believe that humans, in their infinit stupidity they will prefere the easy way. And the easy way means living on credit, like they are use to. How to a ask a cauch potato to live based on what it’s producing? You can’t

Where it will be implemented cash finance?
Well, I think that it will be implemented in less developed countries (because they are now at this cash stage:) ). And some smart people from US will start be more rational about spendings. Cash Finance helps you keep expenses under control. With the plastic credit card, you cannot feel that you are spending. You are not feeling the effort. Is statistically demonstrated that you are spending more slow cash then credit :)

Living on Credit – how sustainable it is?

I believe that living on credit is not sustainable. Because is false. We are living in a pervert world, where we were tough that creditcard is the answer to all our problems. Using a creditcard could buy us time, happiness, is easy to use, is a social pressure to do it.

But living on credit shows a blossom picture with dark roots.

In the first place, we say that we want credit because it allows us to benefit from a thing now, instead when we are old and we cannot enjoy it (then it will too late). So we go for credit, in the hope to enjoy the effects not, rather then later. This is ok… it seems. But, we are getting bored. And we see that what we bought and mortgage our future is not satisfying us any more. We want another thing, more fashionable, more new, so we mortgage our future even more. And we become slaves. Slaves on plantation.

We will be obliged to spend the rest of our lives pay the credit back, and for what?

Actually, there are 2 types of credits. Those that will make you money (if you invest with higher earnings that the interest that you are paying to the bank), and those who drain you out of the money (when you are buying expenses, that you cannot sell them anymore. In this respect we are buying electronics (with almost zero reselling value), trips, cars, etc. These are pure expensive.

On the long therm, getting a credit will make you pay more then double… Getting a credit will make you a slave.  And everything you do must get paid. You know, there is no such thing as a free lunch :)

This crisis is about sustainability. And greed. We came here because of credit. … I will further discuss these topics again :)
