Everything Goes To Zero
written by Jim Berry
 

Did you ever wonder why you never have enough money? You seem to be making more & you hear that the Economy is doing great. $7.00 an hour jobs multiplied by the millions adds up to one Fantastic Economy.

Having studied Money & Finance for many years I long ago came to the conclusion that everything goes to Zero. This fact has been theoretically constructed & actually been laid down by the Laws & both God & Man. It comes as both a shock and surprise to the unsuspecting when the individual realizes the true end game.

Is it any wonder why you never seem to get ahead? The Bills just don't stop coming. You can balance the checkbook but you find that it is pretty easy to balance a zero account.

Or do you have a hefty balance in the Budget but the inter company transfers don't seem to reach you in time to pay the bills. The News reports speak of surpluses and you wonder to yourself - what is wrong with me and the money I control? Am I out of balance - out of the Norm?

By Design the answer is the same for every individual and company. If you have one dime more than someone else - the other person is jealous and envious of you and wants that dime for themselves.

Think of it this way - you spend every last nickel for a down payment for the Best House that you can afford. You spend the next 30 years eating less than nutritional foods so that you can pay the Mortgage. By the time that 30th year has arrived you are now free of Mortgage Debt - but now you seem to be getting hit left and right with goodly repair bills on that Dream House. When do you ever get ahead?

These facts are true for 93% of the population - at a minimum.

The other 7% have other problems.

How do I transfer my wealth to the children without getting hit with substantial estate taxes when I am pushing daisies under the ground? Well - I could spend a lot of money on Professional fees to try to avoid the inevitable.

Now let's say that you succeed in transferring that wealth. You pass it through to your sons & daughters. Now they are happy. They have all of this money and they are 21 years old. They buy the 1st and most expensive car that they can buy. Then they take a series of trips. In a few short years they have blown all of the money that you worked so hard for. Even without the "greedy kids syndrome" there are no guarantees.

Right now and at this point wouldn't you really like to have a nice & expensive dinner somewhere instead of sitting home and eating a hot dog and some gruel?

These facts are also true of Businesses, Governments & Nations.

I don't care which way you try to split it the end game is still the same.

Ask yourself this question - Who Owns the United States of America? Do you know? If you don't - find out - I think the answers will surprise you. Maybe we should call ourselves the United States of Euro America.

When you ask yourself - as an individual - why do I never have enough money; do you think it is any different when "Big Business" asks itself the same thing. For them the stakes are much higher and the problems are much more difficult. It doesn't get easier on the way up - it gets harder. Care to step it up a notch and try the end game at a higher level?

When a big company tells the investors that they have $5 billion dollars in cash on their balance sheet - did you ever ask to actually see this money in all of the combined checkbooks?

The answer almost exclusively is that there are a series of inter company transfers of funds to make it look like the money is there.

In small business it is called check kiting but in big business it is called a float.

There are many twists and turns to these questions but I can guarantee you that there is no Peace On Earth when it comes to Money & Finance.
