Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The recent economic crisis is a toxic cocktail of immense proportions. Understanding what to do next is impossible without first understanding the individual ingredients in the cocktail. To be sure, each of these ingredients requires a fully-orbed separate treatment for proper analysis of individual situations. Let’s stipulate to this fact now. Knowing the ingredients, however, will go a long way in getting off on the right foot for future analysis and problem solving. Here are five ingredients.

The Way You Handle the Repossession

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Repossession is a complicated and legally fraught matter, with legality being determined by widely varying local and state laws.What is valid and legitimate in one state may not be the same in another. That is why in case you are presented with repossession of a good you have bought using a loan, it would be most advisable to first check what laws are in effect in the state you live. This can be done without any expenses using the internet web sites that try to keep up to date with laws and the changes brought to them. (more…)

The Shocking Truth About Money and Banks!

Monday, September 15th, 2008

If I were to lend you 100 pounds, I would take the physical money out of my pocket, or the bank. I might even write you a cheque. The key point though, is that I would have had 100 pounds, then, when I lent it to you, I wouldn’t have it any more. If I lend you a hammer, I would first have to have a hammer, then I could give it to you and you could use it.

So, it would make sense then that when a bank lends you some money that it takes money that it has in it’s vaults (or at least on it’s books as most money doesn’t now actually exist in physical form, It is just numbers in a computer.) and hands it over to you. To compare it to the example of me lending you 100 pounds, the bank would first have had 100 pounds with which it could do as it liked. Then, it would give that money to you and so, wouldn’t have it any more. The bank would be ‘missing’ that 100 pounds until you paid it back.

Obviously, that is the only way it could work and it is the way that it must work. WRONG! That is the only fair way that the system could work. If someone is going to lend you something, they must have that thing first. The Government creates money, the banks have large supplies of it because people deposit their money with them and the bank then loans it to you in order to charge interest. This is the way that most of us have assumed that it works and we have never been taught otherwise.

The truth is far more shocking and is actually so unbelievable that I don’t expect you to take my word for it. I am going to provide you with links to more information so that you can learn more and prove to yourself that this is how it works.

When a bank lends you money, it creates that money out of thin air! Yes, you read that correctly. Before you ask to borrow some money, that money doesn’t exist. When the bank agrees to your loan, it simply conjures it into existence and gives it to you. The bank hasn’t built, grown or created anything of value but it still gets to charge you interest on that money that it simply created.

This system is almost exactly the opposite of how you would think it should work. When the money is loaned out, it is created and when it is paid back, it ceases to exist as it is written off the bank’s balance sheet. The bank gets to keep the interest on the money that it made up though! This poses a big problem for everyone because if all the money is created like this (which it is) then where does the money to pay the interest come from. Have you ever wondered why we have inflation?

I could keep going all day with this but there is a great video that explains all this and what you can do about it. There are also links to find out more from independent sources and to see evidence if you still don’t believe.

Your House is Not an ATM
