It's great to value money, I think everyone does. But anyone that withholds a workers wages, uses altered scales, is not generous, and nickel and dimes everything isn't good. Be wise with money but don't be greedy or scheming.

Money is not an end result. It is the means to an end.

Real money is portable, keeps it's value, may buy passage and freedom. Try taking your real estate (im mobil) with you, So, it's protection and insurance as well as generational wealth. Real money allows to start anew in a foreign country, invest in a business, education, partake in a opportunity and therefore create wealth. Since it is important and history does repeat itself, I repeat: Real Money: the shiny stuff of freedom you can touch, the stuff that does not decay, the stuff that is anonymous and has no counterparty risk.
