As your Great God Mammon dies a little so do you. All hail Mammon!
mammon?
mammon defined; bible: riches/ wealth, money/gold, possessions etc..worldly gain, personified as a false God in the New Testament..often mammon; Material Wealth is regarded as having an evil influence.. I believe, the spin was to make money taboo, so few would ignore old dogma/ deity and prosper..consequently it worked, the proof is in history, including today..I believe, it's honorable to be wealthy if honesty, integrity, and moral decent path is in the works..as far a this article, I believe the Spin is to To Stress the Multitudes Out, to where they do DIE of infirmities more sooner than later..We Really Do Live In a Dangerous and Evil World..I believe, that's the EVIL PLAN of the Worldly Establishment...Survival Really does go to the fittest, forget all Worldly entities and PLEASE SURVIVE..that s/b one's most important goal..PERSERVERE, it's not easy, but Good will Prevail over Evil..STRESS KILLS, THEY KNOW IT, WE KNOW IT.....
Heres an idea, go swim or jog/sprint 3 times a week and stop worrying so damn much about money. Money doesn't do you any good if you DIE worrying about it.
An upside to this is that all the money that these older folks have had stashed away will now be passed on to the next generation allowing for greater spending. Now if we can only get the Estate Tax really going we could get out of this recession a lot quicker.
Not to mention that we won't be giving them senior welfare, I mean Social Security and Medicare, anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like seeing anyone die. But if they are having heart attacks because they lost some money, then . . .
The old guys just can't handle that they are losing power. Old money will now be going into new hands.
I definetely agree that older persons are greatly affected by the ups and downs of the stock markets. At one time in my lifetime you invested in a stock and basically forgot about it until an unusual circumstance arose and you decided to see how much it had grown. Once the Woodstock generation took over the world has become a very fast roller coaster. If you are to protect yourself from financial disaster you must keep your eyes and ears open and watch the indices. Advanced technology is great but it sure strains humans more today than in the simple life of years gone by. We worked hard, prayed alot, trusted in God and didn't have messages zipping and zapping through our ears by the milliseconds. Stress is rough on the heart. There is no doubt.
I guess the trust in God didn't get you far.
Sounds like a study by the Keepers Of Oddball Knowlege [KOOKs] rather than a prestigeous Ivy League school. Raise tuition, this type of research must be fully funded!!!
Stocks are headed south, rather permanently and rather soon. Folk need to dump stocks and survive.
The recovery from the dip is only an illusion. The economy will in fact totally disintegrate. Democracies only last so long and then greed destroys them. But, greed and corruption are not a cancer but rather the core essence of any monetary system were money is created(by the fed and treasury) out of thin air, lent out in high multipliers, and then interest is charged on this nonexistent money. Inflation must result, and workers get stuck in this rut of payments that is inescapable, so are essentially slaves to the system, working harder and harder to just stay alive. Ours is a system based on scarcity rather than abundance, and it does not need to be that way. This is explained very well in the video ZEITGEIST II ADDENDUM at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gKX9TWRyfs. I highly recommend it. It describes a path to a much more pleasant life. But it does require a change in our values...
