Money.

[@garthwunsch]

Fifty years ago I built my own house, hiring out only the framing and concrete work. Took me almost three years… but I learned so many skills. My mortgage was only 20% of what my friends were taking out. When interest rates hit 19%, they were all freaking out… but I only had six months remaining to pay, so I just walked into the bank and paid it off!!! I’ve since continued doing as much as I can for myself, and often earning money from learned skills! Even though we live in a cold climate I grow much of our own food, and in the times we’re living that has been a real blessing!

[@MerwinARTist]

An example of real wisdom .. wish we all had these kind of stories told to us when we were much younger. Time getting an education would be better spent doing things .. of course none of us want a brain or heart surgeon working on us who doesn't know what he's doing .. but a degree doesn't make you skilled. Well said Garth!!

[@jaredtrecker4610]

You should share that story with more people! Thinking outside of the box always a good idea!

I have to work 2 years and then I will pay off my land and begin to live self reliant. You have helped me in a tremendous way. Thank You Jon.

[@alwayslearning7672]

Even if you get self reliant, I imagine you'll still need some money. Have you figured out how to earn some? This has been my biggest barrier. Good luck

[@Rookie7916]

@@alwayslearning7672 I got offered a job and will start next week and I will work for 2 years straight.

[@alwayslearning7672]

@@Rookie7916 Good! This will pay for you to up your farm.But then, how will you earn some money once you've got everything set up? Right now, I have enough to set up my self reliant farm, but I know I will need some income too along with being self reliant.Yiu see what I mean? Even Jon has some little income. I know 2 people who saved enough, bought some land, grew their food etc...then after 2 years , their savings finished and they could figure out how to earn some money.They had to go back to the city again.I don't want this to happen to me...or you! Think about this.

[@conqueringleo]

Very good wisdom. Like you said, money can be used as a tool to make our lives comfortable but we need to have confidence in our ability to solve our problems without deep pockets.

[@billzepp69]

The negative part of money is that it causes separation. It turns the humans against each other.

[@honeybadger8942]

Also inheritances.

Thanks Jon for another interesting topic and video message. It makes very clear how insane the world has become.

For many people, the grass is always greener somewhere else. Too many, do not understand , that you have to plant , water and grow your own lawn. Money will never pay for what you can do yourself.

Money is the reason I work everyday. I lost alot of time and I am so tired filled with stress. I ask myself why?

[@JudahStephens]

I have often used the analogy of money being similar to fire. Under control fire can be used for many useful things. But when fire gets out of control it can be extremely destructive. Thank you for sharing, Jon.

[@AgroTraveller21]

Thanks a lot for this content. I am really disappointed with money and running after more and more money making in Bangladesh. So, I should fix a destination and calculate for that. So that I could make a peaceful place to live with my skills.

Thank you for the free wisdom Jon, money is like the double edge sword. Humanity have the choice which direction they want to live in heaven or hell.

I just want enough money to live without worrying about not having it.

U also have a lot of human support to live your lifestyle. Alone, u would have too much to do. Many hands make light work.

[@billzepp69]

Started trying to approach from other direction. It’s a good video. Stealing is an interesting thing typed to money. Like when animals take my food I don’t feel like it was stolen only humans steal. When if we steal it’s only from humans. Stealing is a human concept humans created it. It’s weird.

That is correct, monk..

Money came from the temple of Ishtar in Babylon. A farmer would bring in a bushel of wheat to trade for a shekel which was given to a temple high priestess to sleep with in hopes of getting blessings on next year's harvest. The Greeks had Jupiter munitos (where we get the word mint, money and monitary from) we have been whoring ourselves out for centuries now
