20 Aug 2009Money is hardly ever considered an asset. Yet you can prove that it is an asset by attempting to live 10 days without using it. Because assets tend to multiply this is an important realization.
It has been written that “The value of an asset increases exponentially while the value of your labor only increases incrementally.”
The Rate of return on their money, for many, seems to be more important than the return of their money. But the real value of money is destroyed when rate of return is the focus. This is because someone else is in control of the actual money.
Consider the following:
Your paycheck. Where do you deposit it?
Into a Bank owned by someone else?
Does your money make you or the Bank the most because of this transaction?
Do not ever think that you can multiply your wealth by dividing it up. Allowing others to have access to your money by placing it on account at their bank, gives that bank control over your money. You automatically become second in command of your money by doing this. When the bank controls your money, you do not and they make money off your money while you pay the fees, the charges and all other costs associated with banking and financial institutions.
Nobody is financially independent until they have mastered the concept as taught in the book Becoming Your Own Banker, by R. Nelson Nash. Nash teaches a concept called Infinite Banking which will teach you how to control and benefit from the financing equation which is as follows:
You give up interest you could have earned by paying cash or you lose money by paying someone else interest when you use their money. You lose money regardless.
When you Become Your Own Banker, you recover the cost of interest you pay out when you borrow from your own banking system and pay yourself back. You are now using your own money as an asset and it will multiply.
