Money is fungible. Replaceable by
another identical, mutually exchangeable item. It can be put to work, but won’t
have an identity crisis about it. Ask money what it wants to be when it grows
up, and the answer is “more me”. Money doesn’t go for job interviews in public
companies. It doesn’t go for performance reviews. It is the company that gets
assessed. Shares in these companies that are in the free float can be bought
and sold. Money can be divided into parts and get various jobs. Money that is
retrenched is also called Dividends or Share Buybacks (we don’t need you
anymore). No tears required. All said and done, money is far better suited to
working purely for the sake of money than people. If you can get breathing
space between what you earn and what you spend, you can build a Buffer. A
Buffer can grow. A Buffer can become an Engine. An Engine can empower you to
make decisions not driven by money. Driven by you.
