Change Focus to Reboot Motivation
The news media often makes money its top focus, which adds motivation for people to spend more, travel more and cozy up more to people of means.

Talent for New Revenue Streams

Run From Financial Experts
It seems the brain blocks your own decision making intelligence, and tends to shut down when you hear an “expert’s” advice. Rather scary research, if you think of the financial gurus who make our decisions in the stock markers and banks.

I say that unless we put brains back into money basics, we’re lost in shambles that “experts” created. Einstein warned not to expect different results [...]
Engage Voices on Other Side?
Slavery works, cried dominant voices, while for centuries brilliant minority voices, with finer insights at times, could have led a richer way.
