  7. A checking and savings account is a good thing right
    wrongo
    a checking account shows you your balance
    as soon as what ever direct deposit you have coming in hits the bank
    poof it is gone it called double spending
    off it goes to become more money in many ways
    a loan
    a hedge fund
    so that the bank makes more money
    and they tax you to take your money
    2.00 2.50 but what interest are you getting zero
    digital age means they can create money unlimited
    same thing with your savings account
    unlimited them
    4 percent you
    nooooooooooo
    the digital age is supposed to be decentralized
    the bible agrees
    it says decentralized finance
    meaning you are the bank
    the interest
    goes to you
    the loan interest goes to you
    the hedge fund loan goes to you
    so your money no matter the size of it makes money for you
    i call it my change jar economics
    picture a change jar like your mom or aunt or grandma had
    and instead of you filling it with change
    your bank account drips it in every day, hour, minute in some cases every second
    you had $30.00 at the beginning of the week
    at the end of the week you have $260.00 dollars from the drip
    you allow it to go back into the system and the next week you have 520.00 dollars
    then the next week you have $1040.00 it grows rather quickly creating generational wealth or needed money in an emergency
