The Billionaires’ Racket
80 years, give or take. That is about all we get in this life.
Imagine spending it in relative comfort. Never worrying about getting sick and affording the care. Never fearing homelessness. Having the freedom in life to take your time when you are young, to find yourself and what you love to do, and pursuing it, instead of being thrown out into the wild by parents with uncaring mentalities, finding yourself seeking any 9–5 you can find, but hate, just to afford basic necessities. Imagine being able to raise a family, and actually see them and spend time with them, cause you don’t work 50–60 hours a week to afford overpriced housing, healthcare, daycare, and these days, food. Imagine having the financial freedom to put more energy into loved ones, and feeling free of worries over maintaining basic human needs, making those 80 years go by filled with more joy, happy memories, love, and relaxation, and less stress, strain, and hardship.
For many generations, in cultures all over the world, families lived together. My grandmother was Hispanic, and as is typical in Miami, my parents and I lived with her. We didn’t subscribe to a nuclear household. Most don’t here. It is a great deal of the reason Hispanics have the largest growth in generational wealth. I already wrote on the reasons why, previously, so won’t delve into that here. But the support it provides is invaluable.
