Is the real secret to financial freedom found in spending less?
That’s up to you. One size doesn’t fit all. Give it a try. Don’t spend any money for a week unless it’s food or gas. See how it makes you feel.

Is becoming minimalist a poverty mindset?

Three simple questions to ask yourself about capitalism:

Do we even know what true capitalism looks like?
Free of gov’t intervention
Free of The Federal Reserve
Free of Wall Street
No one alive knows what true capitalism looks like.

What would life look like without lobbying?
Lobbying is political prostitution.
Lobbying Congress should become punishable by the death penalty.
Why? Doing so is about protecting your very way of life, hence your freedom.

What about borrowing money interest free?
How is it possible?
Congress has constitutional authority to create money, they can issue just enough for commerce.
Interest payments, rent for the use of money, don’t have to be a form of slavery.

Solutions:
Learn to barter for goods/services with neighbors.
Before you buy new, look for good used.
Craigslist, buy local.
Look for locally owned credit union.
Stop the demand for cheap, corrupt money and the supply will dry up.
