Most people don't spend much time wondering what money can do for their financial freedom. Their only major concern is how much money they have, and how to get more!

What Is Money?

It is a medium of exchange.

What Does it Do?

It ensures the success of exchange by being the one item on offer that is ALWAYS acceptable.

Why Is it Necessary?

Because human beings need their financial freedom and must exchange to live together in peace, and to prosper!

That's All!

On the other hand, without financial freedom and money, the production and exchange of anything but the most rudimentary goods and services is impossible. It is not difficult, or time consuming, or inefficient, it is IMPOSSIBLE!

Animals don't exchange (or trade) amongst one another. They are self-sufficient, or they take from each other, or they exercise the prerogative of superior strength and/or cunning.

There are some human beings who get along in a very similar fashion, but the overwhelming majority recognise the benefits of voluntary exchange. Strictly speaking, the use of the word "voluntary" in this context is redundant.

The phrase "your money or your life" is not the precursor to an exchange, whether the person uttering it brandishes a gun or a government identity card!

The first rule of financial freedom and any voluntary exchange is simplicity itself. If two people are financially free and willing to exchange, each must view the results of the exchange as being beneficial. If either of them is not of that view, the exchange will not take place.

The ways to make money in this world are simple:

• Marry someone who is already rich!

• Have a rich person die and will you their money!

• Strike oil!

• Discover gold!

• Win the lottery!

• Rob a bank!

• Work for it ...

• Or have it work for you through investments!

In investing, you don't have to be an expert to take advantage of real opportunities and achieve your financial freedom!
