Money as a fictional construct is one of the premises set out by Yuval Noah Harari in sapiens. It and other fictions like the law and religion help humans to enjoy a greater level of cooperation than any other species. It's great that we can do this, but it's also good to be aware of it.
I really enjoyed this article J, for me I’ve always been a low income earner but was fortunate enough to take control of my pension from my former employer when they laid me off, additionally I had a severance package that allowed me a lump sum to invest. I’m ahead of the game as far as being over the magic 100k so I can leisurely invest along the way. My goal is financial independence. I will work til I’m at least 65-70. Unless my compounding surprises me before then. Keep up the good work here.

That’s precisely why I wrote this! Read Sapiens a few months back. Amazing book.
Haha that must be why it reminded me of it! I loved it too, and Homo Deus. Planning to check out Nexus soon.
This is 🧑🍳💋
Thanks!
