We’ve been told that, if we stop buying things, our economy will crash. Wrong!
We forget that there are plenty of ways to inject money into the economy without buying something we don’t need.
We can buy things that are not things.
We can spend our money on experiences.
We can spend our money bettering the lives of others.
Give to a non-profit organization, and your money enters the economy when the hungry are fed and the poor are housed.
Save or invest, and your money strengthens the economy when entrepreneurs borrow your money as capital to start a business or develop a product or idea.
In spite of what we are regularly told, our economy will not crash if we do not buy things we don’t need.
TTYL,
Linda
